Guards nvbug 6591137: the SM90 bprop kernel walks KV in 2-warp-group
(128-row) CTA tiles but decided the out-of-bounds mask from the 64-row
tile granularity, so for s_kv = 64 (mod 128) the TMA-zero-filled KV tail
entered exp(0 - LSE) unmasked, overflowing to inf (and grad_q to NaN) for
query rows with LSE < -ln(FLT_MAX) = -88.7.
Random data can never catch this class of bug: randn inputs give
LSE ~ log(s_kv) > 0, and with benign LSE the unmasked garbage only
multiplies zero-filled operands, leaving stored outputs bit-identical.
This test engineers query rows anti-aligned with every key so all scaled
logits are ~ -100, and covers s in {64, 192, 1216, 1280, 1000} x
{bf16, fp16}.
On an unfixed cuDNN the s = 64 (mod 128) cases fail on H100; all 10 pass
with the fix (cuDNN dev MR !4225 / 9.26 MR !4227).

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change adds a focused regression test for an SM90-specific failure. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to restrict execution to SM90 so other GPU architectures do not receive an irrelevant or potentially flaky test.

Gate the regression test to SM90.
The SDPA harness already enforces cuDNN 9.10.0+ and skips unsupported graphs. Both parametrized dtypes remain valid inputs. Add only a torch.cuda.get_device_capability() check for SM90.
