[Attention] Temporarily add back pa for small batch sizes. (#4765)

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR adds back pa in scenarios of small batch sizes due to
performance consideration. Will remove pa once fia performs better than
pa in all scenarios.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No

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