Narrow test_hf_vllm_export_offload to skip save_pretrained round-trip

Monkey-patch save_pretrained to a no-op so the test exercises only the
PR's new inplace_mem_efficient=True contribution (per-layer
enable_weight_access_and_writeback dispatch + inplace fake-quant
writeback) without tripping transformers load_offloaded_parameter on
SequentialHook — a pre-existing upstream limitation unrelated to this
PR's new code.

Broaden the folded-weights assertion to cover all decoder layers (not
just the offloaded layer 0) so regressions in the on-GPU inplace path
are also caught. The vllm_fq_modelopt_state.pth contents are still
asserted since torch.save happens before save_pretrained.
