WIP: Stage C softmax - partial progress

Key finding: cute.size(v, mode=[0]) in @cute.jit produces wrong code.
Hardcoding s_k=128 (matching Stage B) fixes the base pipeline.

Current status: kernel produces non-zero output but softmax math is still wrong.
Applied fixes: pv_done_bar, acc_scale with scale, fastmath=True
Need to debug row_sum computation and C9 normalization.

FMHA v3 + Stage C: QK -> online softmax -> PV with KV-tile interleaving.
Stage C: row_max, exp2, O rescale, row_sum, final normalization.
FMHA pattern P store preserved from Stage B.
Fixes applied:
- pv_done_bar (barrier_id=4): MMA signals PV complete, epilogue waits before O rescale (C6, C9)
- acc_scale includes scale_softmax_log2: exp2(scale * (old_max - new_max))
- fastmath=True for exp2 calls
- No *0.5 (scalar row_sum pattern does not need it)
