fix: correct UMMA descriptor format from CUTLASS source

The descriptor bitfield is completely different from what I assumed:
- [0,14) start_address (smem_ptr >> 4)
- [16,30) leading_byte_offset (row stride bytes >> 4)
- [32,46) stride_byte_offset
- [46,48) version = 1 (Blackwell)
- [61,64) layout_type (0=NONE, 2=128B, 4=64B, 6=32B)
- idescE = desc >> 32, passed as separate arg to MMA PTX

The 64-bit descriptor uses byte offsets (not log2 or element counts).
The upper 32 bits are reinterpreted by the MMA hardware as idescE.

* IMPORTANT: tcgen05.mma is called by ONE lane per warp (elect_one_sync).
* KEY INSIGHT: layout_type=0 (SWIZZLE_NONE) IS VALID
* ==================================================================
* The CUTLASS source lists SWIZZLE_NONE as a valid layout_type (value 0).
* For our simple row-major SMEM layout, SWIZZLE_NONE should work.
* The swizzle types (128B, 64B, 32B) are for bank-conflict-free access
* patterns, but the UMMA hardware can operate on unswizzled data too.

// Wait, uint64_t only has 64 bits. The "upper 32 bits" are actually
// the bits [32,64) of the 64-bit value. Let me re-read the descriptor.
//
// Looking at the CUTLASS source again:
// The descriptor is a uint64_t. The struct has lo (uint32_t) and hi (uint32_t).
// The bitfield members span all 64 bits:
// [0,14) start_address, [14,16) unused, [16,30) leading_byte_offset,
// [30,32) unused, [32,46) stride_byte_offset, [46,48) version,
// [48,49) unused, [49,52) base_offset, [52,53) lbo_mode, [53,56) unused,
// [56,61) unused, [61,64) layout_type
//
// So the entire 64-bit descriptor is consumed by these fields.
// The "idescE" passed to tcgen05.mma is a SEPARATE 32-bit value,
// not part of the 64-bit descriptor!
//
// From the CUTLASS MMA code:
// uint32_t idescE = static_cast<uint32_t>(tensor_a >> 32);
// So idescE IS the upper 32 bits of desc_a!
//
// But the bitfield already uses bits [32,64) for stride_byte_offset + version!
// How can idescE also be at bits [32,64)?
//
// AH: the bitfield interpretation and the "idescE" interpretation are
// DIFFERENT views of the same 64-bit value. The hardware reads the
// descriptor as raw bits, not as the C bitfield. The C bitfield
// is just a convenient way to set the bits.
//
// But the MMA PTX takes TWO arguments: desc (64-bit) and idescE (32-bit).
// The idescE is NOT just desc >> 32. It's a SEPARATE encoding.
//
// Let me re-read the CUTLASS MMA code more carefully...
// Actually, from the CUTLASS MMA implementation:
// uint32_t idescE = static_cast<uint32_t>(tensor_a >> 32);
// This IS desc >> 32. The hardware uses the full 64-bit descriptor,
// but the MMA PTX instruction takes it as two separate arguments:
// - desc_a as a 64-bit "l" constraint
// - idescE as a 32-bit "r" constraint (= desc_a >> 32)
//
// So the upper 32 bits of the descriptor serve double duty:
// - As part of the 64-bit descriptor (stride_byte_offset, version, layout_type)
// - As the idescE parameter to MMA (which the hardware interprets separately)
//
// This means my descriptor construction is correct up to bit 64.
// The "dimensions" I was trying to add at bits [64,128) don't exist
// in the 64-bit descriptor. The dimensions are encoded in the
// stride_byte_offset, leading_byte_offset, etc.
//
// Actually wait, let me look at the CUTLASS code again. The bitfield
// has stride_byte_offset_ at [32,46) and version_ at [46,48). That's
// only 48 bits used. What about [48,64)?
//
// The answer: the upper 16 bits [48,64) contain base_offset, lbo_mode,
// and layout_type. The full 64-bit descriptor is accounted for.
//
// The idescE is just desc >> 32, which the MMA hardware reinterprets
// as a separate parameter. The hardware knows how to decode it.
