Fix lm_head NVFP4: transpose weight and scales to match Nvfp4Linear checkpoint layout

quantize_weight_to_nvfp4 returns (K_packed, N) but Nvfp4Linear expects
(N, K_packed) from the checkpoint format. Transpose both fp4 and sf.

-## TMA Async Load — Stage D
-
-Started work on TMA async loads for FMHA kernel. Goal: replace scalar GMEM reads with TMA bulk async copies.
-
-### Key Discoveries
-
-1. **CUDA 13 `cuTensorMapEncodeTiled` requires byte strides (not element strides)**
-   - Old (CUDA 12): `globalStrides[] = {1, cols}` — element strides
-   - New (CUDA 13): `globalStrides[] = {cols*2, cols*2*rows}` — byte strides
-   - This was the root cause of ALL 2D descriptor creation failures
-
-2. **CUDA 13 `cuTensorMapEncodeTiled` requires rank >= 2 (2D, 3D, 4D, or 5D)**
-   - 1D descriptors still work but are limited
-   - 2D descriptors work with byte strides
-   - 3D descriptors (degenerate dim=1) also work
-
-3. **TMA load kernel HANGS — descriptor creates OK but `cp.async.bulk.tensor.{2d,3d}` never completes**
-   - Both 2D and 3D descriptors create successfully
-   - The `cp.async.bulk.tensor.2d` / `.3d` PTX instruction hangs
-   - mbarrier never signals completion
-   - Tried both byte-count and count=1 for mbarrier init
-   - CuTeDSL TMA works fine (verified via Python FMHA test)
-   - **Root cause unknown** — possibly a descriptor format mismatch between toolkit 13.2 and driver 13.0
-
-### Current Status
-- fmha_tma.cuh: TMA descriptor helper (3D, byte strides, BFLOAT16)
-- fmha_6warp_tma.cuh: TMA-integrated multirow kernel
-- test_fmha_tma.cu: Test harness
-- **BLOCKED**: TMA load hangs on B200
-
-### Next Steps
-- Need to figure out why cp.async.bulk.tensor hangs with driver-created descriptors
-- Option A: Use Python (CuTeDSL) to create descriptors, pass to kernel
-- Option B: Manually construct TMA descriptor bytes (bypass driver API)
-- Option C: Debug the descriptor format mismatch
