Performs 1D convolution via FFT for long learnable filters. Computes circular convolution by
zero-padding to avoid wraparound, performing FFT on both input and filter, multiplying in
frequency domain, and inverse FFT. This is the core computational primitive in Hyena, H3,
S4, and other SSM-based architectures for subquadratic sequence mixing.

The task is to replace the forward computation of this PyTorch model with a custom CUDA kernel. The model performs 1D convolution via FFT for long learnable filters.
The task involves replacing the forward computation of a PyTorch model that uses FFT-based convolution with a custom CUDA kernel. The model takes batch_size, channels, seq_len as inputs and performs a circular convolution using FFT with zero-padding.

H100, high bandwidth.
To implement faster, perhaps the reference has overhead from multiple ops, a fused kernel with cuFFT could be faster by reducing launches.
