Revert of #40560

This reverts commit 809d83c.

Original PR: #40560
Reason: Linked to 1 new CI failure in nightly build #62566:

  • DeepSeek V2-Lite Accuracy — GSM8K accuracy dropped from 25% threshold to 2% on deepep_high_throughput backend. This PR refactors MoE runner base classes used by all MoE models, potentially affecting the expert parallel computation path.

Auto-generated by CI failure analyzer.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the MoE runner architecture by introducing a factory pattern and splitting the monolithic MoERunner into an abstract base class, a common base implementation (MoERunnerBase), and a concrete DefaultMoERunner. Feedback on the MoERunnerBase implementation identifies several critical issues: the _fused_output_is_reduced attribute should be a property to avoid stale state when quantization methods are updated, the float16 scaling logic incorrectly ignores the scaling factor when shared experts are absent, and an incorrect assertion in _maybe_reduce_shared_expert_output causes crashes for models without shared experts.

The _fused_output_is_reduced attribute is initialized in __init__ based on the state of quant_method at creation time. However, quant_method can be updated later via _replace_quant_method (e.g., when applying LoRA or swapping kernels), which would leave this attribute stale. This should be implemented as a property to ensure it always reflects the current quantization method's requirements, as it was in the implementation being reverted.

The scaling logic for float16 is missing a critical check. If shared_output is None (meaning there are no shared experts), the routed_scaling_factor is currently ignored for float16 tensors. The scaling factor must be applied to fused_output whenever shared_output is absent, regardless of the data type, because the 'compensation' logic (dividing shared output) is not applicable. This logic was correctly handled in the refactored version being reverted: if fused_output.dtype != torch.float16 or shared_output is None:.

shared_output *= 1.0 / self.routed_scaling_factor
if fused_output.dtype != torch.float16 or shared_output is None:
fused_output *= self.routed_scaling_factor
elif shared_output is not None:
shared_output *= 1.0 / self.routed_scaling_factor

This method contains an incorrect assertion that will cause a crash for MoE models without shared experts if the quantization kernel performs reduction. If shared_output is None, no reduction is needed for it even if the fused output was reduced. I am also including the fix to turn _fused_output_is_reduced into a property here to resolve the staleness issue identified in __init__.

    @property
    def _fused_output_is_reduced(self) -> bool:
        return (
            self.quant_method.moe_kernel is not None
            and self.quant_method.moe_kernel.output_is_reduced()
        )

    def _maybe_reduce_shared_expert_output(
        self,
        shared_output: torch.Tensor | None,
    ) -> torch.Tensor | None:
        """All-reduce shared expert output when the combine kernel already
