Optimize sparse 2:4 compression performance (3.69x speedup)
- Implement GPU-accelerated bit packing in pack_bitmasks() - Remove unnecessary CPU transfers in sparse compression pipeline - Optimize topk operation with sorted=False parameter Achieves 3.69x speedup (22.57s → 6.12s) for 8B parameter models by keeping operations on GPU and eliminating device transfers.
