Hosang Yoon f5e00ec904 [CK_TILE] Skip padded k/n fragment work in qr_hpad FMHA fwd (#6450)
## Motivation

`qr_hpad` currently executes work for padded head-dim fragments even
when only a subset of the values are valid. This adds unnecessary
computation for head dimensions that require padding, such as `hdim=72`
and `hdim=80`, and hurts FMHA forward performance.

The goal of this PR is to make the padded-head-dim path skip invalid
work based on the actual valid fragment count, while preserving the
existing behavior for the non-padded path.

## Technical Details

This PR improves the `qr_hpad` FMHA forward path in three parts:

- Skip padded `k`/`n` fragments in the GEMM/pipeline path when only part
of the fragment is valid.
- Add partial GEMM0 tail handling for `qr_hpad` so the kernel uses the
valid fragment range instead of always computing over the padded extent.
- Retune the gfx11 `qr_hpad` kernel configuration after enabling the
partial-fragment path.

To keep the existing path stable, the implementation adds overloads for
the updated GEMM/pipeline interfaces. This allows existing full-tile
callers to keep using the previous form, while the `qr_hpad` path can
pass valid fragment counts when needed.

## Test Plan

./build/bin/tile_example_fmha_fwd -prec=bf16 -mode={0/1} -b=1 -h=16
-d={72/80} -s={seqlen} -s_k={seqlen} -lse=0 -iperm={0/1} -operm={0/1}

## Test Result

- On gfx11 and gfx12, for head dimensions that require padding,
`tile_example_fmha_fwd` shows about 20-30% performance improvement at
`hdim=72/80`.
