zzhxxx eac72f5f23 [Feat] Flashcomm2 use o_shared linear (#4188)
### What this PR does / why we need it?

It is mentioned in the [flashcomm2 technical
report](https://gitcode.com/ascend-tribe/ascend-inference-cluster/blob/main/FlashComm/FlashComm2%E5%A4%A7%E6%A8%A1%E5%9E%8B%E6%8E%A8%E7%90%86%E4%B8%AD%E4%BB%A5%E5%AD%98%E6%8D%A2%E4%BC%A0%E7%9A%84%E9%80%9A%E4%BF%A1%E4%BC%98%E5%8C%96%E6%8A%80%E6%9C%AF.pdf)
that FC2 will introduce full redundant storage of the o_proj matrix,
which will put pressure on the memory. Therefore, the technical report
proposed a compromise solution using otp2, but it will introduce
additional reduce-scatter communication.

We propose a shared linear feature (#2931 ) that supports distributing
weights layer by layer to each card, avoiding the need for TP splitting,
and can solve the memory issue.

This PR depends on #3232 and #2931

Register linear layers into a shared storage series.
In a parallel group, each device stores a distinct, non-overlapping subset of layers from the series. All layers in a series must have the same structure (are isomorphic). The weight matrix for the i-th layer is stored on device (i % n), where n is the number of devices.
After loading the model, you must call `post_process_after_loading_for_shared_weight_series(layer)` on any layer of this series to complete the initialization.
During execution, each time a new layer is reached, you must call `reach_layer_for_shared_weight_series(layer)` for that layer to prefetch the weights. The argument `prefetch_step` is a non-negative integer k that manages asynchronous weight prefetching. Each call to `reach_layer_for_shared_weight_series(current_layer)` method will trigger an asynchronous prefetch for the weights of the k-th subsequent layer after `current_layer` within the series.
Note: The layers are managed as a circular buffer. The index of the layer to prefetch is determined by the formula:
- start_layer is the index of the first layer in the series (inclusive).
- end_layer is the index of the last layer in the series (exclusive). Thus, the series includes all layers with indices in the range [start_layer, end_layer).
- total_layers = end_layer - start_layer
- prefetch_layer_idx = (layer_idx + prefetch_step) % total_layers + start_layer
To hold the weights for the current layer and the k prefetched layers, a pool of (k + 1) shared tensor buffers will be created for this series.
Arguments:
series_name: This name identifies which series this layer belongs to.
group: The group coordinator for handling asynchronous communications. It is recommended to create a new group coordinator for each new series.
layer: The linear layer object to register.
prefetch_step: An integer that manages asynchronous weight prefetching. Setting it to 0 or 1 can cover most cases.
