[Pallas/MGPU] Undo transforms on refs before giving them back to the users
This changes makes it so that the refs users receive inside their kernels have shapes
matching their block specs. However, the refs are not actually plain refs, but transformed
references that begin with the fully transformed abstract ref and then stack the inverse
of the transformation stack on top of it. This means that all primitives that take in refs
can also see the sequence of transforms the user applied in the block spec, which lets us
verify e.g. that the inputs to WGMMA are correctly tiled, even though their user-visible
shape remains 2D. We should be able to use the same trick in the future to propagate tiling
and better infer the layouts for loads and stores.
