perf: double-buffer KV pipeline and Q direct-to-register in decode

- Double-buffered KV (STAGES=2) for D<=128: next tile cp.async overlaps current tile MMA compute, hiding global load latency
- Q loaded directly from global into mma A-operand registers, removing sQ staging and prologue syncwarp
- Predicated cp.async unifies full and partial tile paths, eliminating scalar fallback branch
- STAGES=1 fallback for D=256 (double-buffer would exceed smem budget)
- Applied to both contiguous and paged decode MMA kernels
- ~1.27x average speedup on L20 (sm_89), zero precision loss
