[CKTile] Fix MX GEMM: num_loop==3 dispatch, split-K,
 unsupported-shape guard (#6663)

Three independent MX GEMM correctness bugs reported against
example/ck_tile/42_mx_gemm (fp8xfp8, A=Row/B=Col) on MI350X, plus one
host-side atomic-add accumulation bug in the example's repeat loop.

- Pipeline (gemm_pipeline_ag_bg_cr_comp_async.hpp): BlockHasHotloop
required num_loop > PrefetchStages, which let num_loop == 3 enter a hot
loop that produced 5 gemm accumulations instead of 3 (K == 3*K_Tile,
e.g. K=768, deterministically wrong). Require num_loop >= 4 instead:
pre-pipeline + TailNumber::Three already totals exactly 3.

- Kernel (gemm_mx_kernel.hpp): split-K was silently broken because
GridSize did not thread k_batch into blockIdx.z and the scale tile
windows were anchored at K=0 for every k_id. Every k_id >= 1 therefore
read the wrong packed scales. Fix:
* GridSize returns dim3(grid_x, 1, k_batch) (persistent and
non-persistent).
* MakeScaleA/BBlockWindows accept a k_elem_offset and translate it to a
packed-scale K offset (also apply pad_tensor_view so OOB scale loads
return zero, matching A/B padding).
* operator() derives k_id from blockIdx.z, uses GetSplitKElemOffset
(matches Underlying::SplitKBatchOffset's K1-aligned formula), and
dispatches the epilogue with memory_operation_enum::atomic_add for
k_batch > 1, set for k_batch == 1. Same fp16/bf16 even-vector-size guard
as UniversalGemmKernel.
* MakeCBlockWindows templated on DstInMemOp; unconditionally applies
pad_tensor_view using kPadM/kPadN so partial trailing M/N tiles are
handled correctly.

- Compile- and runtime unsupported-shape guards (gemm_mx_kernel.hpp):
add IsSupportedArgument and a static_assert for configurations that
produce silent wrong results:
* static_assert(!kPadK) -- the MX comp-async pipeline uses
async_load_tile whose OOB check is per-vector-start, so a vector
straddling the K pad boundary reads garbage. Until the async path learns
per-element pad masking, reject kPadK at compile time.
* Runtime: k_batch >= 1; M/N multiples of MPerBlock/NPerBlock when
kPadM/kPadN are false; M >= MPerBlock and N >= NPerBlock always
(CShuffleEpilogue cannot safely run with a single partial tile); K %
(KPerBlock * k_batch) == 0; and for k_batch > 1, K must be a multiple of
WarpTile_K * k_batch so every split lands on a packed-scale boundary.
  * All error paths log under CK_TILE_LOGGING with actionable messages.

- Example (example/ck_tile/42_mx_gemm/mx_gemm_instance.hpp):
* Call Kernel::IsSupportedArgument up front and throw a clear
runtime_error for rejected shapes (was silently launching an unsupported
kernel).
* Switch to launch_kernel_time_mask with a clear_gemm_output preprocess
that zeroes C between iterations when k_batch > 1 (mirrors
universal_gemm_invoker). Without this the default -warmup=50 -repeat=100
accumulated 150 atomic_adds into C after the kernel-side split-K fix.

Tests (test/ck_tile/gemm_mx/):
- Add MXfp8_GemmConfig16_PadMN (kPadM = kPadN = true).
- test_mx_gemm_fp8.cpp: HotLoopTailNumLoopThree (K=768 regression),
SplitK (k_batch=2,4 across full_k/partial_k paths),
TestMxGemmFp8PadMN::{MNPaddingAligned, MPadding, NPadding, MNPadding}
covering trailing partial tiles along M, N, or both.
- Run(...) now takes k_batch.
- packScalesMNxK: guard against OOB (mn, k) reads from src and
initialise e8m0 bytes to the zero exponent (0x00) instead of the
default-constructed NaN (0xFF), so padded lanes don't poison the packed
int32_t shared with in-range lanes.
- test_mx_gemm_instance.hpp: call IsSupportedArgument before launch.

Verification on gfx950, ROCm 7.2.0:
- ctest -R test_ck_tile_mx_gemm -> 100% (2/2).
- Example sweep over the original bug-report shapes: all K-aligned
shapes now validate correct (including 4096^3 sk=2 and the K=768 cases);
all K=128 shapes cleanly rejected with the new error message instead of
producing silent wrong results.
