Fix: Adapt Llama injection policy for newer transformers versions (#7443)

This PR fixes an `AttributeError` that occurs during
`deepspeed.init_inference` when using kernel injection
(`replace_with_kernel_inject=True`) with Llama models from recent
versions of `transformers`.

**The Bug:**

In newer `transformers` versions (e.g., `4.53.3`), configurations like
`num_heads` and `rope_theta` were moved from direct attributes of the
`LlamaAttention` module into a nested `config` object.

The current DeepSpeed injection policy tries to access these attributes
from their old, direct location, causing the initialization to fail with
an `AttributeError: 'LlamaAttention' object has no attribute
'num_heads'`.

**The Solution:**

This change updates the Llama injection logic to be more robust:
1. It first tries to read attributes like `num_heads` from the new
`config` object location.
2. If that fails, it falls back to the legacy direct attribute path.
