Row-wise softmax backward pass.
Given the saved softmax output y = softmax(x) and the upstream gradient
dy, computes the input gradient:
dx_i = y_i * (dy_i - sum_j(y_j * dy_j))Grid: one CTA per row — pid = row index.
The dot product sum(y * dy) is a row-scalar that is broadcast back to the
full row when computing dy - dot.
Constraint: BLOCK_SIZE must equal n_cols (same as the forward pass).
