The results of this op, if any, are those of the first region, as returned by nvws.warp_group.yield op. nvws.warp_group should be lowered to ttg.warp_specialize before execution.

TODO: Decide if we should move nvws.warp_group to TritonGPU, or continue to have TritonGPU depend on NVWS. In the former case, this op can be removed. The latter one involves a circular dependency between TritonGPU and NVWS.
