PyTorch's CUDACachingHostAllocator rounds every pin_memory=True
allocation up to the next power of 2 (e.g. 33 GiB -> 64 GiB).
In CPUOffloadingWorker this caused each TP worker to allocate far
more host memory than requested when kv_offloading_size was not an
exact power of 2 per rank, leading to OOM on memory-constrained
machines.

Fix: allocate non-pinned first, then pin via cudaHostRegister to
bypass the caching allocator, matching what SimpleCPUOffloadWorker
already does.
