### What this PR does / why we need it?
The float kernel of MOE_init_routing_v2 in the dispatch allgather
operation does not support tensor format for active_expert_range; it
only supports int.
PR5311 To unify the variables `local_num_experts` and
`self.local_num_experts`, `self.local_num_experts` was used
consistently, which led to the subsequent integer type parameter being
converted to a tensor type.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Unify the loading logic for expert_map and log2phy.
1. The map generated when enabling the redundancy expert is incorrect.
The community generation map function only accepts the number of global
experts. When we pass in the number of logical experts plus redundant
experts, the local expert ID of the last card will index to an expert ID
that does not exist. Now we ensure that the index points to a real
existing expert ID, and each expert can be accessed. Moreover, when
redundant experts are not enabled, the output of our function remains
consistent with the community's function.
2. The map we generate is based on the length of the physical expert,
but in reality, we only need to use the length of the logical expert.
Later on, we will need to pad it accordingly, so we can simply generate
a map with the length of the logical [expert.]
3. Unify the initialization logic across different scenarios and
simplify the code for fused_moe.
**Before refactoring**
- map path is not None：
expert map: get_rank_placement_map from _'expert_load_balancer.py'_,
maintains the map for all ranks and all layers.
log2phy: get_rank_log2phy_map from _'expert_load_balancer.py'_,
maintains the map for all ranks and all layers.
- map path is None:
expert map: determine_expert_map from '_vllm.laye_r', The function does
not support the redundant experts of vllm-ascend.
log2phy: determine_default_log2phy_map from _'eplb_utils.py'_. The
function does not support the redundant experts of vllm-ascend.
**Refactoring**

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Redundant experts bugfix
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
After configuring the path for experts_map, users do not need to
configure iinit_redundancy_expert.
### How was this patch tested?
The accuracy of EPLB was tested with and without the use of redundant
experts.

This PR adds support for redundant experts in the EPLB.
Key points:
- Use global_num_experts = num_experts + num_redundant_experts
consistently.
- Backward compatible when num_redundant_experts=0.
Tested
On a 16-rank setup (W8A8) with static EPLB and expert_map_path,
verifying router logits shape and successful requests.

### 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:

alt="474430541-23b06f58-23bc-44a3-a1be-00f268aeb15c"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1d73a459-1b23-4b0a-812a-bf0a75debfed"
/>
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.
