What happened

The official source reports this update: ciflow/xpu/4636: Address review: use torch.accelerator.current_accelerator(). Per review feedback, replace the torchao.utils.get_current_accelerator_device() helper with the upstream torch.accelerator.current_accelerator() API, which is the direction tracked in #2917 / #4384 . Note the suggested spelling in the review comment, torch.accelerator.get_current_accelerator(), does not exist; the actual API is torch.accelerator.current_accelerator(). This also drops the torchao.utils import that the previous commit added, since it would otherwise be unused (ruff F401).
