is not in this case candidate_amax = (fp8_by_448 * 6.0)?

| multiplier = candidate | |
| candidate_amax = self._initial_amax * multiplier | |
| candidate_amax = (candidate * global_amax).view_as(self._initial_amax) |

why?
fp8_scale = FP8(block_eqv_amax / 6.0 * (448/(global_amax/6.0))
so if we reverse calculate block_eqv_amax_from_fp8, we get:
block_eqv_amax = (fp8_scale / 448.0) * global_amax
candidate_amax = candidate * global_amax
