[Backport 12_0_X] Fix for SiPixelRecHitFromCUDA crash during online GPU tests

[czangela]

PR description:

See description at #35229.

With this backport the issues in #34831 should be addressed. As far as I understand, backport to 12_0_X is sufficient for later purposes.

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_12_0_X IBs (tests are also fine) and once validation in the development release cycle CMSSW_12_1_X is complete. This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @perrotta, @dpiparo, @qliphy (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)
