[studio] multi gpu: revert to balanced for inference. (#4698)
* Revert to balanced for inference

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Remove unused for_inference parameter from get_device_map

Since inference and training both use "balanced" now, the for_inference
flag is dead code. Remove it from the function signature, the call site
in inference.py, and simplify the tests accordingly.

* Remove redundant TestDeviceMapForInference test class

TestGpuAutoSelection already covers the same multi-gpu and single-gpu
device_map assertions. The TestDeviceMapForInference class was left
over from when for_inference had distinct behavior.

* Remove redundant test_get_device_map_multi_gpu_uses_balanced

Its assertions ([0,1] -> balanced, [0] -> sequential) are already
covered by test_get_device_map_uses_explicit_gpu_selection.
