The prefill attention kernel performance has degraded significantly in recent releases (since v0.1.2), especially on A100 when causal=True, this is mainly because we add new attention variants (which increases register usage thus incurs register spilling) and move some parameters from compile-time to runtime.

This PR alleviates the issue by caching some of the variables regarding GQA group size.
In the next PR, we will support another mode kv_head_major in addition to qo_head_major, to further accelerate GQA prefill with query size >= 64.
