Subject: [PATCH] llama: Ensure KV cache is fully defragmented.

Sometimes the KV cache requires defragmentation even without
triggering the threshold heuristic. In this case, decoding
will not being able to find a KV cache slot. This is particularly
difficult for the caller to handle if it happens in between
ubatches. To avoid this, we should immediately trigger a defrag.

In addition, a heavily fragmented cache can require more than
max_moves to defragment. Currently, we stop when we hit the limit
but this can leave a cache that still does not have adequate space
even after defragmentation is triggered. Instead, we should do
multiple batches of processing until everything is complete.
