fix: sequential GPU test contamination — remove static OnceLock<MlDevice>

Root cause: `SMOKE_CUDA: OnceLock<MlDevice>` held a static Arc<CudaContext>
for the process lifetime. CudaSlice Drop from test N recorded errors on
this shared context's error_state, causing test N+1's bind_to_thread() to
fail with CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE.

Fix: create a fresh MlDevice per test (no static caching). Each test gets
its own CudaContext Arc with clean error_state.

Also: convert all GPU smoke tests from #[tokio::test] to synchronous #[test]
with explicit tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread(). The runtime is
explicitly dropped between tests, ensuring all Arc<CudaContext> refs are freed.

Result: 5 of 6 sequential smoke tests now pass. The remaining 1 failure is
a real Candle GpuTensor bug: the replay buffer insertion path still uses
Candle's elementwise kernels, which cache CudaFunction handles that become
stale across test boundaries. Fix: eliminate Candle from replay buffer path.
