This PR fixes the KV cache block size to reserve the GPU memory it should have.
When I tried to reproduce "TABLE IV" in the QServe paper, the throughput was somewhat saturated before the point shown in the paper, regardless of the batch size. I found this was due to a miscalculation of the number of KV cache blocks. (The unit of the block size would be 'bytes', not 'bits').
Using 90% of free GPU memory sometimes doesn't even leave room for the hidden dimension, so I reduced it to 75%.
