Conversation
If user opts in, persistent L2-cache state is reset before timer starts in measure_cold, and before batch executes in measure_cold. Warm-up runs also reset persistent L2 cache state. Reset is performed before L2 flushing to demote persisting cache lines ahead of flushing to allow them to be flushed as well.
Save the current cudaLimitPersistingL2CacheSize when --disable-persisting-l2-cache is active, reset persisting L2 state before cold/hot measurements, and explicitly restore the saved limit after the measurement scope exits or throws. Keep the reset helper out of public measurement headers to avoid leaking the private fmt dependency through nvbench/nvbench.cuh, and add cleanup guard coverage for the no-device helper path.

Introduces
--disable-persistent-l2-cacheoption to opt-in and reset persistent L2-cache state inmeasure_coldandmeasure_hot.For
measure_cold(isolated measurements), the reset occurs before L2 is flushed before every launch. The reset is also done for warm-up runs.For
measure_hot(batched measurements), the reset occurs at the start of every batch.
