llama.cpp fixes qwen2vl model output errors

The llama.cpp project has released an update (b12385) that addresses an issue with the qwen2vl model. Previously, the model produced incorrect outputs due to FFN weight scales not being applied, leading to high perplexity on CUDA and NaN on CPU. This fix ensures the scales are correctly passed to build_ffn, similar to how the Qwen2 model handles them. AI

IMPACT Ensures correct model behavior and performance for qwen2vl within the llama.cpp framework.

    b12385: qwen2vl : apply FFN weight scales (#32241)

    <p>The qwen2vl graph passed NULL for the ffn_up/gate/down scales, so the<br /> per-tensor NVFP4 scales loaded by the generic pass were never applied<br /> and the model produced garbage (PPL ~1e6 on CUDA, NaN on CPU).</p> <p>Pass the scales to build_ffn like qwen2 does.</p> <p>Fi…
