Purpose

Fixes #49528: when NixlTransport.poll() catches an exception from
check_xfer_state(), the transfer was left in _inflight and retried
every poll cycle, producing an infinite loop of warnings.

The fix appends the failed transfer ID to failed_ids so the existing
post-loop cleanup removes it from _inflight and attempts to release the
handle. Both poll() and _release_handles() warning logs now include
exc_info=True for full traceback diagnosis.

Duplicate check

Searched open PRs referencing _inflight cleanup and NIXL poll
exception handling; no open PR fixes the inflight leak when
check_xfer_state() raises.

…49528)

When check_xfer_state() raises in poll(), the transfer stayed in
_inflight, causing repeated warnings on every subsequent poll cycle.
Now the transfer is added to failed_ids so the post-loop cleanup
path removes it and releases the handle.

Also adds exc_info=True to both poll() and _release_handles() warning
logs to include the full traceback for diagnosis.
