Extend the existing reorder optimization to Q8_0. The reorder
separates scale factors from weight data for coalesced memory
access -- was implemented for Q4_0/Q4_K/Q6_K but Q8_0 was missing.
On Arc Pro B70 (Xe2), Q8_0 tg goes from 4.88 to 15.24 t/s (3.1x)
on Qwen3.5-27B. BW utilization: 21% -> 66%.
The key fix beyond the kernels: Q8_0 was missing from the type
check in ggml_backend_sycl_buffer_init_tensor() that allocates
the extra struct carrying the reorder flag -- so the optimization
was silently skipped.
AI (Claude) was used to assist with root cause investigation and
writing the kernel code. All code was human-reviewed and tested
on real hardware.
