opencl: cluster-parallel decode FA for Adreno (#25473)

* ggml : process data in smaller chunks in CUDA ggml_top_k() implementation to reduce temporary buffers memory usage

* ggml : allocate tmp_dst only only once before the loop

* chore : whitespaces

Co-authored-by: Georgi Gerganov <ggerganov@gmail.com>

* ggml : use chunked processing in both CUDA CUB top-k and argsort implementations

* chore : separate argsort_f32_i32_cuda_bitonic() call from return statement

Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de>

* chore : replace ternary operators with min/max

+// takes q1_split's memory-level parallelism at MQ's read-once traffic:
+//   - the 64-lane subgroup is split into FA_CL_NCL clusters of FA_CL_C lanes;
+//   - each cluster owns its own KV position stream (positions strided by
+//     FA_CL_NCL) with private per-cluster online-softmax state, hence FA_CL_NCL
+//     independent K rows in flight per subgroup, no cross-cluster serial chain;
+//   - within a cluster, lanes split DK for the dot (cluster-reduce via
+//     sub_group_shuffle_xor, steps < FA_CL_C stay inside the cluster) and
+//     split DV for o_acc (each lane owns dv indices {lic + FA_CL_C*i} — the
+//     same slice for every position, so accumulation is lane-local);
+//   - merge stage 1 folds the FA_CL_NCL cluster partials with cross-cluster
+//     shuffles (distances >= FA_CL_C); stage 2 is the baseline cross-subgroup
+//     LDS merge (o published by cluster 0's lanes, layout-identical to the
+//     baseline's sg_o).
+// The KV sweep runs a UNIFORM trip count (max over clusters) with a clamped
+// row address + FA_M_INIT score on the tail — keeps every shuffle convergent
+// (p = exp(FA_M_INIT - m) underflows to 0, so clamped-row reads are inert).
