perf(prefill): restore flash_attn_varlen_func with profiling safety guard

Restores ixformer flash_attn acceleration for prefill that was lost in
38eca5c2 revert. The OOM root cause was profiling-stage flash_attn on
131K dummy sequences, not flash_attn itself.

Fix: two-tier dispatch in _run_sdpa_fallback:
  1. flash_attn_varlen_func — real inference (verified 1.7x on BI-V100)
  2. Q-tiling fallback     — profiling stage (seq > 32K) or exception
