Preserve the concatenation axis for singleton LoRA deltas.

When indexed LoRA pairs target a layer with one input feature, each merge can return [1, 1]. ggml_n_dims(updown) then returns 1, so later deltas concatenate on dimension 0 and produce [n, 1] instead of [1, n].

For a partial delta and a model tensor shaped [1, out_features], the padding condition requires diff->ne[0] == model_tensor->ne[0]. The [n, 1] result fails this condition when n > 1, so the code skips padding and returns nullptr for the incompatible LoRA diff.

Suggested fix 
-                updown = ggml_concat(ctx, updown, curr_updown, ggml_n_dims(updown) - 1);
+                const int concat_dim = ggml_n_dims(updown) == 1 ? 1 : ggml_n_dims(updown) - 1;
+                updown = ggml_concat(ctx, updown, curr_updown, concat_dim);

Review comment at @src/model/adapter/lora_ops.cpp around lines 14 - 17:
Update the indexed LoRA delta concatenation logic so singleton `[1, 1]` tensors
concatenate along dimension 1 rather than dimension 0, preserving the `[1, n]`
shape. Locate the `updown` concatenation using `ggml_concat` and keep the
existing axis choice for tensors with more than one reported dimension.

auto lora_down_n_dims = ggml_n_dims(lora_down);
// assume n_dims should always be a multiple of 2 (otherwise rank 1 doesn't work)
