Summary

current_platform.fp8_dtype() cannot change after import, but
vllm/v1/attention/ops/rocm_aiter_mla_sparse.py called it on every function
invocation — once per DSA layer per forward pass, including inside the fused
QK prologue custom op.

vllm#46172 introduced a module-level FP8_DTYPE constant but only wired it up
in two places and left five call sites behind. This PR routes every use through
the constant and removes the per-call locals, so exactly one fp8_dtype()
lookup survives, at import time.

$ grep -c 'current_platform.fp8_dtype()' vllm/v1/attention/ops/rocm_aiter_mla_sparse.py

Tests

No behavior change. Existing test_rocm_aiter_mla_decode.py covers the call
paths.

current_platform.fp8_dtype() cannot change after import, but the sparse
MLA indexer ops call it on every invocation - once per DSA layer per
forward. vllm-project#46172 added the module-level FP8_DTYPE constant but left the
call sites untouched.

Route every use in rocm_aiter_mla_sparse.py through FP8_DTYPE and drop
the per-call locals, so exactly one lookup survives, at import.

The fused QK prologue's two call sites are not touched here: vllm#51315
moves that impl and its fake into _aiter_ops.py, where they already read
that file's FP8_DTYPE constant.
