What does this PR do?

  • Always return the hidden states.
  • Create the output tensor inside the attention and paged_attention functions.

This removes the difference between how the output is handled between attention (output parameter) and paged attention (return value). This also removes the assumption that the attention implementation can write to an output tensor (in preparation of FlashInfer).

- Always return the hidden states.
- Create the output tensor inside the `attention` and `paged_attention`
  functions.
