viable/strict/1791282642: [FSDP] Reduce TestParityWithDDP GPU delays 250ms -> 50ms (#199769)

What happened

TestParityWithDDP's delay tests ( test_delayed_optim_step , test_delayed_reduce_scatter , test_mixture_of_experts_with_delay_before_free ) inject a 250ms torch.cuda._sleep per iteration so the GPU lags the CPU and missing FSDP stream syncs show up as parity mismatches. About 410s of the class's ~917s per CI config is these sleeps. TestParityWithDDPCUDA is the largest class in test_fsdp_core (~424 aggregate CI minute…
