In this PR we avoid extra loops on sorted data in the __subgroup_bubble_sorter::sort,
which calls in sort algorithms on the device for every work item.

This is beneficial when the data is already sorted, which according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm is a common real-world case.

There are no other occurrences of switch in the library. What about using if-else? I guess switch is not necessary here due to having only 4 options.

I believe switch / case should works faster.

For large number of elements switch should perform better although I do not know in device code. However, with just 4 cases there's probably no difference.

In my opinion, unless there is a measurable performance difference between switch and if-else, then we should use if-else.

….h - fix review comment: the overflow is handled in the caller side, so it does not make sense to make a signed type.
