[CK][CK TILE] Fix smart-build to run install target for client examples (#5614)
How ninja install works:
- Builds library dependencies (device_operations, etc.)
- Installs them to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
- Skips building test executables (not install dependencies)
Affected stages (8):
- gfx942/gfx950/gfx908/gfx90a CK Client Examples
- gfx10-1/gfx10-3/gfx11/gfx12 CK Client Examples
## Motivation
Problem: When smart-build is enabled (runAllUnitTests=false), the build
step is skipped entirely. This causes client example stages to fail
because they depend on the CK library being installed to ../install.
Error seen:
Target "client_gemm" links to:
composable_kernel::device_other_operations
but the target was not found.
## Technical Details
Root cause: Line 712 only checked runAllUnitTests, so when building with
config_targets="install", the install target was never built, leaving
the install directory empty.
Fix: Added condition to always build when config_targets contains
'install'. The install target automatically builds its dependencies (the
CK libraries) but skips building tests, which aligns with smart-build
philosophy.
## Test Plan
Should be tested on CI
