perf(moe): translate CCCL smem_resource_raw.cuh — buffer reuse for MoE output

smem_resource_raw.cuh entire design (180 lines):
  Manages shared memory as multi-stage pipeline resources.
  Core idea: one memory region, multiple stages, barrier-synchronized.
  - mStageCount stages share the same SMEM base pointer
  - data() returns mPtrBase + mStageCurrent * mStride (stage rotation)
  - incrementStage() rotates, parity flips on wraparound
  - release/acquire protocol for producer-consumer sync
  Key insight: allocate once, reuse forever via stage rotation + zeroing.

Translation to MoE _pure_pytorch_experts:
  Previous: torch.zeros_like(hidden_states) every call — GPU malloc + memset.
  Now: class-level _moe_out_buf, resized only when shape changes, .zero_()
  in-place (memset only, no malloc). On BI-V100 without async allocator,
  this eliminates a synchronous cudaMalloc per MoE layer per forward pass.
  With 28 MoE layers × 2 calls/step (prefill+decode), that is 56 fewer
  allocations per step.
