Subject: [PATCH] [v0.11.0-dev][bugfix] fix valueError in
 static_forward_context when prefix is empty (#3929)

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR temporarily bypasses the scenario where some models in vLLM
trigger a `ValueError` during the process of storing values in
`static_forward_context` when no `prefix` is specified for the linear
layers, which is a bug in some models in vLLM. The official fix will be
addressed by submitting a PR to the vLLM community that specifies a
prefix for the linear layers in each model.

- vLLM version: v0.11.0
- vLLM main:
https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/commit/83f478bb19489b41e9d208b47b4bb5a95ac171ac

### How was this patch tested?
CI passed with new added/existing test.
