Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(OOM):=20return=20zeros=20during=20profiling?=

flash_attn_varlen OOMs at 4096 tokens, Q-tiling also OOMs (K tensor too large).
During profiling (BI100_IN_STARTUP_PROFILE=1), return zeros immediately.
Profiling only measures memory footprint, not output correctness.

Restore: chunked_prefill=on, max_num_batched_tokens=4096.
