Summary
Enable fp8 qlinear on CPU. It's part of the plan to enable fp8 static quantization on CPU. This PR only adds FP8 support of the existing int8 qlinear op. It does not add a new op nor does it affect frontend or quantization flow. The schema of the qlinear op is not changed either.

So, the FP8 qlinear shares the same op as INT8 qlinear and the difference is that src/wei dtype is fp8 instead of int8. The output dtype can be fp8/float32/bfloat16. The implementation uses the oneDNN library.

The differences of qlinear from _scaled_mm are that

  • Qlinear supports post op fusion while _scaled_mm does not
  • Weights are prepacked for qlinear

Test plan

pytest test/quantization/core/test_quantized_op.py -k "qlinear and fp8"
