llama.cpp b10545 Release Fixes Tensor API Bug

The latest release of llama.cpp, version b10545, addresses a critical bug in the Tensor API's mat-mat kernel. Previously, the kernel could read out-of-bounds elements when the K dimension wasn't a multiple of 32, leading to potential data corruption or NaN results. This update introduces a dynamic extent for K, ensuring that only valid data is processed, thus enhancing the reliability of matrix operations. This fix is crucial for developers relying on precise tensor computations, especially in environments where K-aligned inputs are not guaranteed.
