fix(MoE): robust CUDA kernel loading + no-GPU precompile

1. precompile_moe_topk.py: skip GPU verification during Docker build
   (torch.cuda.is_available() check — .so compilation doesn't need GPU)

2. _custom_ops.py topk_softmax init: 3-tier loading
   - import precompiled module (torch cache)
   - scan known .so paths (torch_extensions cache dirs)
   - JIT compile from .cu source
   - PyTorch fallback with WARNING (not silent — must know if CUDA failed)

3. patch_ops.sh: report .so location after precompile for debugging
