[CI] Serialize libcu++ lit tests on GB300

[jrhemstad]

GB300 nodes have a known issue when CUDA work is submitted concurrently from multiple processes. Limit the GB300 libcu++ lit job to one worker; a temporary override runs the serialized job on this PR before the nightly setting is merged.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Added ARM64 GB300 coverage for libcudacxx using GCC and GPU-specific targeting.
  • Configured libcudacxx test execution to run in a single process for improved test reliability.

Walkthrough

The CI matrix adds an ARM64 GB300 libcudacxx override and sets single-process lit execution for both the override and nightly lanes.

Changes

GB300 libcudacxx CI

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Single-process libcudacxx test configuration ci/matrix.yaml	The ARM64 GB300 override uses GCC, maximum C++ standard settings, GPU SM targeting, and libcudacxx_LIT_PARALLEL_LEVEL=1. The nightly lane also sets libcudacxx_LIT_PARALLEL_LEVEL=1.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 24e4c

The GB300 libcudacxx CI lanes now run lit with one worker, avoiding concurrent CUDA work while preserving the intended test execution. The configuration is ready to merge.

AI failure analysis

1. Pull-request workflow override rejected by merge gate · 1 job

Explanation: The selected GB300 libcudacxx build and test both passed, but the workflow intentionally fails whenever `workflows.override` is non-empty. The final `CI` job is derivative and failed only because this merge gate failed.

Verify that the failure is solely caused by the temporary non-empty `workflows.override` in `ci/matrix.yaml`, not by the GB300 libcudacxx jobs, which passed. Remove the list item beneath `workflows.override` while preserving the empty `override:` key; retain the permanent `cmake_options: '-Dlibcudacxx_LIT_PARALLEL_LEVEL=1'` addition on the GB300 ARM64 libcudacxx entry in `workflows.pull_request`. Confirm no other temporary overrides remain, then run focused validation with `git diff --check -- ci/matrix.yaml` and `pre-commit run --files ci/matrix.yaml`; do not run the expensive CCCL builds or tests unless another failure is discovered.
