Fix managed KV cache: use __cuda_array_interface__ instead of UntypedStorage.from_blob

UntypedStorage.from_blob was removed in PyTorch 2.11+. Use the
standard __cuda_array_interface__ protocol to wrap cudaMallocManaged
pointers into PyTorch tensors — this works across all PyTorch versions.

Also removed cudaMemAdvise calls — ctypes struct passing for
cudaMemLocation is broken on ARM64 (returns EINVAL). The advise hints
are optional; pages will page-fault to GPU on-demand regardless.

CPU memset (ctypes.memset) is still used instead of cudaMemset to
avoid forcing all pages into HBM during zeroing.

+#
+#   bash run-amd-test.sh "export FLAGS="value" && pytest -m "not slow""
+#
+# The outer shell resolves the nested quotes *before* this script runs, so
+# the script receives mangled input it cannot fully recover.

+# Preferred: pass commands via the VLLM_TEST_COMMANDS environment variable:
+#
+#   export VLLM_TEST_COMMANDS='export FLAGS="value" && pytest -m "not slow"'
+#   bash run-amd-test.sh
