### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR addresses a configuration retrieval issue related to EPLB
(Expert Parallel Load Balancing) settings in qwen3_moe.py.
The key change is adjusting the source of num_redundant_experts to
correctly fetch from the eplb_config sub-structure within
parallel_config, rather than directly from parallel_config. This aligns
with the updated configuration hierarchy for EPLB-related parameters.

Overview
vLLM Ascend (vllm-ascend) is a community maintained hardware plugin for running vLLM seamlessly on the Ascend NPU.
It is the recommended approach for supporting the Ascend backend within the vLLM community. It adheres to the principles outlined in the [RFC]: Hardware pluggable, providing a hardware-pluggable interface that decouples the integration of the Ascend NPU with vLLM.
By using vLLM Ascend plugin, popular open-source models, including Transformer-like, Mixture-of-Expert, Embedding, Multi-modal LLMs can run seamlessly on the Ascend NPU.
