[Perf][DSV4] Use broadcast mHC pre for DeepSeek V4 DSpark

[liuyao0322]

Purpose

DeepSeek V4 DSpark currently expands the initial embeddings from [T, H] to
[T, hc, H] with an explicit repeat before its first decoder layer. The
target model already avoids this materialization through the broadcast mHC-pre
kernel, but the DSpark path did not use it.

This change:

• forwards the 2-D DSpark embeddings directly to the first decoder layer so it
  selects mhc_pre_broadcast_tilelang;
• derives the broadcast projection weight after checkpoint loading by summing
  hc_attn_fn over its replicated input-stream dimension;
• shares that derived-weight finalization between the target and DSpark paths,
  while preserving the tensor address during refits; and
• adds focused coverage for the 2-D DSpark forwarding contract and its
  post-weight-loading hook.

For DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 (hidden_size=4096, hc_mult=4), this removes the
explicit input replication and reduces the first mHC projection's input K
dimension from 4H to H.

There is no linked issue. Before submission, open PRs were searched for
DeepSeek V4 DSpark mHC broadcast, DSpark repeat optimization,
mhc_pre_broadcast, hc_attn_fn_broadcast, and related DeepSeek V4/DSpark
performance terms. No PR implements this change. In particular, #51244 fuses
the end-of-model mHC post/head/norm path, #47807 changes mHC warmup, and #50737
optimizes the DSpark Markov head; none changes the initial DSpark mHC-pre path.

AI assistance was used to analyze, implement, test, benchmark, and draft this
change. The human submitter reviewed every changed line and the reported
test/evaluation results before requesting submission.

Test Plan

1. Exercise the broadcast-weight derivation/refit and verify that DSpark keeps
   initial embeddings 2-D.
2. Run applicable Python formatting, lint, spelling, import, SPDX, and safety
   checks on all changed files.
3. Compare the original repeat path with the broadcast path in an isolated H20
   mHC-pre microbenchmark and a warmed 2xH20 TP2/EP DSpark serving benchmark.
4. Run the complete 1,319-question, 5-shot GSM8K evaluation with DSpark to
   check model quality and speculative acceptance.

Test Result

Latest upstream/main unit test:

.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/kernels/test_mhc_kernels.py \
  -k 'deepseek_v4_mhc_broadcast or dspark_forwards' -v

3 passed, 51 deselected, 14 warnings in 3.88s

Applicable checks passed on all four changed files:

ruff-check
ruff-format
typos 1.43.5
check_spdx_header.py
check_init_lazy_imports.py
check_forbidden_imports.py
check_torch_cuda.py
validate_config.py
check_boolean_context_manager.py
git diff --check

The top-level pre-commit run could not finish creating third-party hook
environments because the shared filesystem returned Errno 524 while building
pre-commit's placeholder wheels. The applicable hooks above were therefore run
directly at their pinned versions or via the repository scripts.

H20 mHC-pre microbenchmark, using the model's real H=4096, hc_mult=4, token
counts 1 through 256, 100 ms warmup and 500 repetitions:

median kernel speedup:       1.512x
median latency reduction:   33.88%
median time saved:          36.94 us
baseline range:             105.72-110.11 us
broadcast range:             68.18-73.23 us

The residual output was exact. Mixing intermediates differed by at most
1.32e-4; the maximum BF16 layer-input difference was 0.0625 at 256 tokens,
consistent with the changed summation order.

Warmed 2xH20 TP2 + expert-parallel DSpark A/B, 16 prompts x 128 output tokens,
8 measured repetitions per mode:

                             repeat       broadcast      change
mean output throughput       751.73       769.06 tok/s   +2.30%
median output throughput     756.52       772.00 tok/s   +2.05%
median latency                 2.7071       2.6528 s      -2.01%

The final acceptance rate was 87.5% for the repeat run and 88.4% for the
broadcast run, so the end-to-end delta includes normal speculative/EP numerical
variance; the isolated microbenchmark is the directly attributable result.

Complete DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 GSM8K evaluation on 2xH20, TP2 + EP, eager,
FP8 KV cache, probabilistic DSpark with seven speculative tokens:

questions:                  1319, 5-shot
measured accuracy:          0.9431
configured expectation:     0.9200 (tolerance 0.0800)
invalid rate:               0.001
evaluation latency:         303.7 s
QPS:                        4.3
mean acceptance length:     4.386
minimum acceptance length:  1.200

1 passed in 557.77s

An additional full H20 sweep of tests/kernels/test_mhc_kernels.py produced
46 passed, 8 skipped, and one unrelated numerical-tolerance failure in the
untouched test_mhc_fused_post_pre[4-7168-128] case: one of 917,504 elements
had absolute error 0.0151 versus atol=0.01. It reproduced on rerun and uses
hidden_size=7168; this model and optimization use hidden_size=4096 and the
new broadcast path.

The GPU benchmark and GSM8K evaluation were collected before rebasing from
48d7132962 to current upstream/main; none of the four affected files changed
upstream during that rebase. The focused unit test and code checks were rerun
after rebasing.
