metal : use residency sets

[ggerganov]

fix #10119

Using residency sets makes the allocated memory stay wired and eliminates almost completely the overhead observed in #10119. For example, on M2 Ultra, using 7B Q8_0 model the requests are ~250ms faster thanks to this change. It seems it is not necessary to attach the residency sets to the command queue and buffers, so the change is rather simple. For each buffer, we create an associated MTLResidencySet and add the MTLBuffer objects to it. After that we commit it and request residency:

llama.cpp/ggml/src/ggml-metal/ggml-metal.m

Lines 1084 to 1091 in 225d2e0

	for (int i = 0; i < ctx->n_buffers; i++) {
	[ctx->rset addAllocation:ctx->buffers[i].metal];
	}
	[ctx->rset commit];
	[ctx->rset requestResidency];

Metal backend changes

Checks the environment variable GGML_METAL_NO_RESIDENCY. If set, then no residency sets will be created, allowing the GPU memory to be collected by the OS after 1 second of inactivity. Generally, this should rarely be needed as it hurts the performance of the application, but keeping support just in case.

[ggerganov]

Great news - this change finally resolves the annoying overhead that I was observing. The only remaining question is how to implement this to be compatible with macOS < 15.0.

Any suggestions?

Edit: resolved
