[Feature] Optimize Qwen3.5/Qwen3Next GDN prefill by prebuilding chunk metadata (#7487)

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR optimizes the Qwen3.5 and Qwen3Next GDN prefill path on Ascend
by reducing host/device synchronization overhead.

The current implementation of the `chunk_gated_delta_rule` path for
variable-length sequences prepares chunk metadata during the forward
pass. This approach triggers frequent CPU intervention and host/device
round-trips. When running prefill-heavy workloads with asynchronous
scheduling enabled, these synchronizations result in execution "bubbles"
and prefill stalling (stuttering). **Note that this does not cause
asynchronous scheduling to fail; rather, it prevents the system from
reaching its theoretical throughput due to these unnecessary stalls.**

To resolve this, the patch moves metadata preparation out of the hot
path:
- **Prebuilt Metadata:** All non-speculative varlen chunk metadata for
GDN is now prebuilt on the CPU.
- **Asynchronous Transfer:** Staging buffers are kept in pinned memory
and transferred to the NPU asynchronously.
- **Integration:** The prebuilt bundle is attached to GDN attention
metadata via `patch_gdn_attn.py` and passed into Triton wrappers.
- **Backward Compatibility:** Triton wrappers fall back to the legacy
preparation path if no prebuilt metadata is provided.
