Implemented a robust solution for detaching mmap tensors in GGUFModelPatcher.load.
Previously, the code used m.to(load_device).to(offload_device) to break mmap links. If load_device was GPU, this caused a massive VRAM spike and data movement overhead.
The new _detach_tensor method performs a direct copy on the same device (CPU) into anonymous memory.
It also handles:

  • GGMLTensor specifics (creating a new instance with metadata).
  • nn.Parameter wrapping (ensuring modules remain valid).
  • Weight sharing (using memoization to preserve tied weights).
    This fixes the potential OOM and "risky workaround" issue identified in the code.

Replaced the risky tensor move operation (m.to(load).to(offload)) with a safe in-memory copy mechanism.
This prevents unnecessary GPU memory allocation and potential OOM errors when detaching mmap files.
Implemented a `_detach_tensor` helper that handles `GGMLTensor`, `nn.Parameter` wrapping, and shared weights correctly.
