### What this PR does / why we need it?
1. Currently, eplb registers different attributes for different models,
but these attributes are not actually used. Now, these attributes are
directly deleted.
2. Add some log about eplb.

Of course! Here is a comprehensive explanation of deep learning, broken
down for clarity.\n\n### The Simple Analogy: A Child Learning to
Recognize a Cat\n\nImagine teaching a child what a cat is. You don't
give them a rulebook with instructions like \"has pointy ears, whiskers,
and a tail.\" Instead, you show them many pictures, saying \"this is a
cat\" or \"this is not a cat.\" The child's brain gradually learns to
identify the complex patterns—the combination of shapes, colors, and
textures—that define \"cat-ness.\"\n\n**Deep learning is essentially
this, but for computers.** It's a method for teaching computers to learn
from examples and recognize patterns directly from data (like images,
sound, or text) without being explicitly programmed with rigid
rules.\n\n---\n\n### The Technical Definition\n\n**Deep Learning is a
subfield of machine learning, which itself is a subfield of artificial
intelligence (AI).** It uses artificial **neural networks** with many
layers (\"deep\" networks) to model and understand complex patterns in
data.\n\nHere are the key concepts in that definition:\n\n1.
**Artificial Intelligence (AI):** The broad science of making machines
smart and capable of performing tasks that typically require human
intelligence.\n2. **Machine Learning (ML):** A subset of AI that gives
computers the ability to learn from data *without* being explicitly
programmed for every single rule.\n3. **Deep Learning (DL):** A

### Motivation
Currently dynamically experts balancing would stop-the-world.
Asynchronously expert load balancing would be better without flowing
problems:
Host-bound latency:
There are many cpu operations during EPLB such as
eplb-algorithm、creating p2p ops、and log2phy expert converting would
spend long cpu time, as ~1s.
Communication latency: The transfer time would cost much in the
situation without nvlink. As the weight of an expert maybe transfer to
multiple new positions, thus N times send/recv for one expert, with
result long latency. We had tested that batch_isend_irecv cost more
100ms for 16 experts weight transmission in A2 server of ascend.
SwiftBalancer would not stop-the-world anymore, in out test on NPU 1~2ms
cost for each layer while benefit 5ms-8ms decode latency with ep_size =
64.
The following updates have been made:
1、expert distribution recording with lower cost.
2、async cpu computing for eplb algo and other python operator.
3、new eplb algo with less expert rebalancing while almost the same
effect.
### Proposed Change
We will gradually migrate the EPLB logic to the VLLM community and
implement a generalized design. Relevant RFC:
https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/22246
The overall workflow involves:

/>
1. Record experts distribution during forward. We using expert_token_num
after disptach instead of topk_ids, thus we got much smaller tensor
shape to reduce cost of hbm recording and add-operator.
2. Do all-gather for experts distribution. Using all-gather instead of
all-reduce as less traffic volume.
3. Wake up eplb worker process with experts distribution when
num_iterations comes. Run eplb algorithm in eplb worker.
4. Generate p2p send/recv ops and other operator such as log2phy would
cost long cpu time.
5. Lanch ibatch_send_recv in async_stream before forward.
6. After forward, wait for the ibatch_send_recv finish, then do uapte
expert map and expert weights.
