### What this PR does / why we need it?
During the prefill phase of Qwen3-Next and Qwen3.5, the
`torch.ops._C_ascend.causal_conv1d_fn` operator exhibits significant
performance bottlenecks. To address this, we have re-implemented the
optimization using `torch.ops._C_ascend.npu_causal_conv1d_custom`.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Upgrade vllm commit to 2026.03.19.
1.Fix socket removed from StatelessProcessGroup. Upstream vLLM PR
[#36330](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/36330) ("elastic_ep:
Fix stateless group port races") refactored StatelessProcessGroup and
removed the socket: socket.socket | None field. The socket ownership was
moved to a new create_tcp_store() helper instead of being stored as a
field on the dataclass.
2.fix `virtual_engine` parameter removed from `set_forward_context().

### 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.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
The ops `torch_npu.npu_recurrent_gated_delta_rule` currently does not
support `ssm_state` inputs in float32 format,
we temporarily retain the _forward_core implementation with triton for
Qwen3_5
