This allows uses of @kernel inside of functions without running into
JuliaLang/julia#53295. One thing I have been wondering though: Is the
@isdefined check here really necessary? In global scope it should just
override the previous definition and for closures these kind of if
statements are ignored anyways.

This was added in 2896ef7

Which probably was meant to avoid re-definition warnings when defining a kernel with multiple methods.

Ah, I see! It's probably fine to leave as-is for now. Does this workaround seem reasonable to you otherwise?

Should be okay. @maleadt has asked for this before.

Can you also add a PR against main?
