fix(bindings): two silent wrong results in the vector_add examples

[LeSingh1]

Two independent defects in the vector_add examples, both of which produce a wrong result rather than an error. Grouped because they are the same pair of files and the same failure mode.

1. A wrong value in the last element is reported as a pass

vector_add_drv.py:104-117 and vector_add_mmap.py:294-307:

foriinrange(n):
sum_all=h_a[i] +h_b[i]
ifmath.fabs(h_c[i] -sum_all) >1e-7:
break
...
ifi+1!=n:
print("Result = FAIL", file=sys.stderr)
sys.exit(1)

This is the C sample's if (i == N) PASS, which works only because a completed C for loop leaves i == N. A completed Python loop leaves i == n - 1, so the check was rewritten as i + 1 != n — but break at the final index n - 1 yields i + 1 == n as well. A kernel that computes h_c[n-1] incorrectly therefore exits 0 and prints nothing.

Fixed with an explicit flag, which does not depend on where the loop stopped.

2. simple_malloc_multi_device_mmap grants access to only the last device

vector_add_mmap.py:161:

access_descriptors= [cuda.CUmemAccessDesc()] *len(mapping_devices)
foridxinrange(len(mapping_devices)):
access_descriptors[idx].location.type= ...
access_descriptors[idx].location.id=mapping_devices[idx]
access_descriptors[idx].flags= ...
(status,) =cuda.cuMemSetAccess(dptr, size, access_descriptors, len(access_descriptors))

List multiplication stores N references to oneCUmemAccessDesc, which is mutable, so the loop overwrites the same object N times and cuMemSetAccess receives mapping_devices[-1] repeated N times. The call succeeds; the devices that were supposed to be granted access instead fault on first touch.

The helper is written as a general multi-device routine — that is what mapping_devices and the surrounding comments are for — and the bug is masked today only because main() passes a single device (vector_add_mmap.py:235). Fixed with a list comprehension.

What I ran

Environment: macOS, no CUDA driver and no CUDA toolkit.

• Did not run: either example, or cuda_bindings/tests/test_examples.py — both need a GPU, and vector_add_mmap additionally needs VMM support. Note that test_examples.py would not catch either defect anyway: it runs each example with no arguments on a machine where the kernel is correct, so neither the last-element path nor a multi-device mapping_devices is ever exercised.
• Ran: reductions of both idioms, verbatim, before and after:

--- verification loop ---
all correct before -> PASS after -> PASS
h_c[0] wrong before -> FAIL after -> FAIL
h_c[n-1] wrong before -> PASS after -> FAIL <-- the defect
--- access descriptors ---
before -> [desc(device_id=2), desc(device_id=2), desc(device_id=2)]
after -> [desc(device_id=0), desc(device_id=1), desc(device_id=2)]

• Ran:python -m py_compile, ruff check, ruff format --check on both files — clean, no new findings against a main baseline for the same files.
• Checked:i is not read anywhere else in either function after the loop, and [...] * len(...) on a mutable element appears nowhere else in cuda_bindings/examples or cuda_core/examples.

Heads-up on overlap: #2266 (samples migration) deletes both of these files. If that lands first, these two fixes should travel with the migrated copies instead — happy to close this and re-target, or to leave it as the record of what needs carrying over. Flagging rather than guessing.
