This fixes another bug with native KV offload (now superseded by LMCache, for completeness)

Lockstep MLA groups share physical block IDs, so a transfer job may contain the same block ID once per logical group. Iterate the deduplicated set of block IDs in _remove_pending_job() so each (block, job) pair is only removed once from the set-backed pending-job index, instead of crashing with KeyError on the second occurrence.

Fixes a KeyError in _remove_pending_job() observed when KV cache offloading (--kv-offloading-size) is enabled while serving GLM-5.2 (MLA + decode context parallelism), reproduced by
offload-fix-glm52/probe_gpu_cache.py.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The offloading scheduler now de-duplicates block IDs during pending-job cleanup, preventing repeated bookkeeping updates when lockstep MLA groups reference the same physical block.
