chore: Move FP8 MHA quantization entry from 0.45 to 0.44 in CHANGELOG

[ajrasane]

Summary

PR #1289 (FP8 MHA quantization for ViT) was merged to main after 0.44.0rc1 was tagged, so the rc1 wheel ships without the nn.LayerNorm registration that the example's _FP8_MHA_OVERRIDE now references — surfaced as nvbug 6114983 (ValueError: parent_class 'nn.LayerNorm' not found in QuantModuleRegistry when running torch_quant_to_onnx.py --quantize_mode=fp8). PR #1289 is labeled cherry-pick-0.44.0 and will be cherry-picked to release/0.44.0 for the next rc, so the feature ships in 0.44 — this PR moves the corresponding release-notes bullet from the 0.45 (Future) section to 0.44 (2026-05-xx) to match.
