fix: pack flash_attn_varlen_func softmax LSE output

[voltjia]

Summary

• Normalize the padded three-dimensional ATen softmax_lse result to the public packed (num_heads, total_q) layout in src/torch/ops/flash_attn_varlen_func/flash_attn_varlen_func.cc.
• Normalize the ATen oracle in tests/test_flash_attn_varlen_func.py so the existing unequal-length batch covers both padded and packed ATen layouts.

Motivation

PR #854 validated against a newer PyTorch that returns packed LSE output, but the pinned NVIDIA CI image uses PyTorch 2.5 and returns (batch, num_heads, max_seqlen_q). Copying (2, 4, 5) directly into the public (4, 8) output fails with the reported dimension 2 mismatch.

This fixes the deterministic NVIDIA failure in:

• CI run 30627654008
• CI v2 Shadow run 30627654102

No issue is linked; this PR directly repairs the failing master checks above.

Test Results on Supported Platforms

Platform	Affected	Build / Smoke Result	Full Result / Notes
NVIDIA	Yes	smoke build and smoke tests passed	Targeted test passed on PyTorch 2.5 and 2.10; full suite not run for this scoped compatibility fix
Iluvatar	No	N/A - not affected	N/A - not affected
MetaX	No	N/A - not affected	N/A - not affected
Cambricon	No	N/A - not affected	N/A - not affected

Ascend	No	N/A - not affected	N/A - not affected

Full `pytest` output (optional)

Not run. The change is isolated to the NVIDIA Torch FlashAttention auxiliary-output compatibility path; the affected-platform smoke suite and the complete target module passed.

Benchmark / Performance Impact

N/A - correctness fix. The PyTorch 2.5 compatibility path performs an on-device mask and packing copy only when auxiliary outputs are requested and ATen returns padded LSE storage. The already-packed path used by newer PyTorch versions remains a direct copy.

Notes for Reviewers

• The public output contract remains (num_heads, total_q); this PR does not change the API or base-class validation.
• Query lengths are derived on-device from cu_seqlens_q, avoiding a host synchronization or per-sequence CPU loop.
• s_dmask remains an empty tensor for the currently required zero-dropout inference path.
