Add one bounds-checked workgroup when a large HIP SIMT grid is an exact multiple of 256, avoiding scheduler underutilization observed on RDNA3 and RDNA4.
The extra workgroup is guarded and does no work:
csrc/gemm_4bit_simt.cu#L196-L197
This addresses the suboptimal performance on certain shapes that was originally noticed in #1979 and achieves up to 3.5x performance improvement at M=1 for specific shapes across fp16, bf16 and fp32.
Not exactly sure of the mechanism that causes the lower-than-expected performance.
