What does this PR do ?

main PR: #3676

This PR fixes an issue in _split_state_dict, which splits the state dict into sub-state dicts for chained optimizers.

The previous offset-based implementation failed in MoE scenarios. Since MoE parts often have a separate optimizer, the offset-based splitting logic caused chunk mis-assignment. As a result, the MoE optimizer was unable to obtain the correct state_dicts.
