[CMake] IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES not working anymore?

[James Bigler]

I determined that this failed starting in 2.8.7 (2.8.6 has the cudart
library on the link line, and 2.8.7 didn't).  I didn't see anything
particular about changes to the IMPORT libraries to suggest why this might
have happened.  I'll try and rig up a reproducer.

I did notice that there wasn't a test for
IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES aside
from trying to create a circular dependency between a single library.
