New API of cuSparse was introduced in 10.1.168 for Linux and the older 10.1.105 version doesn't it. Unfortunately, when the new API was introduced in ArrayFire's code base, I was testing against versions 10.1.168 or newer and hence didn't realize that this new API was introduced in a patch/fix release - unconventional. This change enables the new API only from 10.2.* on Linux since CUDA toolkit version variable set by CMake doesn't provide patch number.

Changes to Users
Developers building ArrayFire's CUDA backend using toolkit version 10.1.105 will be able to build fine now.
