Apply main-branch GPU test fixes to Puzzletron v2

[j-rausch]

What does this PR do?

These failures are already fixed on main, but feature/puzzletron_v2 diverged before the fixes landed. This PR applies the same three changes to the feature branch:

Type of change: Bug fix

• Use released Mamba packages to avoid the incompatible dependency resolution fixed by PR #1901.
• Disable clipping in the DeepSpeed comparison test so it matches the unclipped PyTorch reference, as fixed by commit 3c9137d28.
• Skip streamed dataset splits assigned zero samples, avoiding the Nemotron-v3 timeout fixed by PR #2043.

Testing

Focused GPU and unit tests passed for the affected dependency, DeepSpeed, and dataset-loading paths.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Dataset sampling now rejects negative sample counts.
  • Dataset splits with no requested samples are skipped, reducing unnecessary data loading.
  • Sample allocation across multiple splits remains consistent.

• Tests

  • Added regression coverage for skipping zero-quota dataset splits.
  • Improved GPU test configuration for more predictable DeepSpeed behavior.

• Chores

  • GPU test setup now uses released dependency packages.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Dataset sampling now validates negative counts, allocates quotas before loading splits, skips zero-quota streamed reads, and limits iteration per split. GPU test setup now uses released packages and disables DeepSpeed gradient clipping. Unit coverage verifies split loading behavior.

Changes

Dataset and test updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Lazy split loading and validation modelopt/torch/utils/dataset_utils.py, tests/unit/torch/utils/test_dataset_utils.py	get_dataset_samples rejects negative sample counts, calculates split quotas before loading, skips zero-quota splits, bounds streamed iteration with islice, and adds regression coverage.
GPU test setup noxfile.py, tests/gpu/torch/quantization/test_deepspeed.py	The GPU session installs released mamba_ssm and causal-conv1d packages. The DeepSpeed configuration sets gradient_clipping to 0.0.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d5025

This PR applies localized fixes for GPU dependencies, DeepSpeed comparison behavior, and zero-sample streamed dataset splits; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Inline comments:
In `@modelopt/torch/utils/dataset_utils.py`:
- Around line 639-640: Update the split-loading loop around
_load_split(split_name) to apply the n-record limit with itertools.islice before
enumeration, so iteration never fetches more than the quota; add the islice
import at module scope and remove the post-fetch i >= n guard.

In `@tests/unit/torch/utils/test_dataset_utils.py`:
- Line 834: Add a brief inline comment immediately before the
pytest.importorskip("datasets") call explaining that the optional datasets
package is required to spy on local load_dataset calls.
