Fix enable memory efficient attention on ROCm while calling CK implementation
https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers/blob/main/xformers/ops/fmha/ck.py#L157
Bug cause: the only supported dtypes by the op are float16 and bfloat16, and by default the input tensor is initialized as float32, which prevents using memory efficient attention on ROCm
Bug fix: pick a supported dtype when a custom attention op is passed as an argument
Note: attention op is not a Callable but a pair of (forward, backward) op implementations
