Simplify cuda_calc_xblock_count / cuda_calc_block_count via if constexpr (#5783)
Summary: Pull Request resolved: #5783 The current `cuda_block_count.h` defines `cuda_calc_xblock_count` as **four SFINAE overloads** (signed/unsigned x signed/unsigned for the two integer parameters) plus a `cuda_calc_xblock_count_base` helper -- five functions in total -- purely to suppress "pointless comparison against zero" compiler warnings on unsigned integer types. The header itself documents this rationale at lines 28-32 of the pre-diff file: "This system prevents 'pointless comparison against zero' warnings from the compiler for unsigned types (simpler ways of suppressing this warning didn't work) while maintaining the various warnings." The "simpler ways didn't work" comment dates from before `if constexpr` was widely available. With C++17/C++20 the entire five-function tower collapses to **one** function template using `if constexpr` to gate the signed-only `>= 0` checks at compile time. The unused branch is discarded entirely so no warning is emitted on unsigned types. `cuda_calc_block_count` (the y/z-dim wrapper that adds the 65535 cap) is similarly trimmed to a 4-line template that delegates to `cuda_calc_xblock_count`. Net effect: - Five functions reduced to two. - File length: ~155 lines -> ~85 lines (~45% reduction). - Public API unchanged: same names, same return types, same observable behaviour. TORCH_CHECK messages match the originals verbatim. - Behaviour-preserving: every existing caller across fbgemm_gpu continues to compile and produces the same `uint32_t` result. This is a prep diff for an upcoming change that introduces a `determine_grid_blocks` helper (with a `BlockCapPolicy` enum) on top of these primitives. Folding the SFINAE tower now keeps that follow-up diff's helper signature minimal. Reviewed By: spcyppt Differential Revision: D106262731 fbshipit-source-id: 3c8ed771812f552af548942fbd5f47acf865e789
