Zijie Tian a504bd873d perf: pre-allocate GQA buffers in XAttention policy
Add alloc_policy_metadata() method to SparsePolicy base class for
pre-allocating GPU buffers during initialization. This avoids
dynamic memory allocation during forward pass.

Changes:
- Add alloc_policy_metadata() to SparsePolicy base class
- Implement GQA buffer pre-allocation in XAttentionBSAPolicy
- Call alloc_policy_metadata() in model_runner for GPU-only mode
- Modify compute_prefill() to reuse pre-allocated buffers
- Add --gpu-util parameter to bench.py

Memory savings:
- Previously: 2x GQA expansion (~2GB for 64K)
- Now: 1x pre-allocated buffer (~1GB for 64K, reused)

Tested:
- GPU-only 32K: 5602 tok/s (512MB pre-allocated)
- GPU-only 64K: 4821 tok/s (1GB pre-allocated, gpu_util=0.7)
- Offload Full: PASSED (no changes to offload path)
- Offload XAttention: PASSED (uses compute_chunked_prefill)
