Llama.cpp optimizes sequence scan for faster context generation.

The sequence scan in kv-cells now stops after seeing all relevant sequences, improving speed by up to 39% on large contexts.

What happened

The official source reports this update: b10707: kv-cells: stop the sequence scan once all sequences are seen. kv-cells: stop the sequence scan once all sequences are seen ( #28011 ) for_each_token_in tested all LLAMA_MAX_SEQ sequences for every used cell, while a cell almost always belongs to one. The scan now stops once the cell's own sequences have been seen. Same visit order, same callback arguments, so behaviour is unchanged. get_prev_tokens is the only caller, so this affects the n-gram path.
