rltakashige 43b3df45fb Fix BatchGenerator in line with upstream refactor (and prevent Qwen3.5 memory leak) (#1835)
## Motivation

MLX LM has had a massive refactor to their BatchGenerator recently.
Since we'd like new features from MLX LM such as Gemma 4, we need to
update the code to handle this.

Additionally this fixes a significant memory leak in GatedDeltaNet (the
difference is quite substantial, up to 1GB every 1000 tokens, explaining
several memory issues users were facing with Qwen3.5 models)

## Testing

After (no memory leak, as one of the changes upstream)
