CI: fix GPU-mask crash by keeping CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES out of the container

Background
----------
Each self-hosted runner is pinned to a specific GPU via a host-level
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES and we forward that mask to Docker:

  docker run --gpus "device=$CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES" …

That flag alone is sufficient—Docker restricts the visible devices for the
container.

Problem
-------
We also injected the same variable into the container’s environment
(-e CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES).
Inside the container the CUDA/OpenACC runtime renumbers the visible GPUs
to 0…N-1, so a value like “1” or “2,3” is suddenly invalid and the first
kernel call aborts (`exit 1`) when multiple runners share the host.

Fix
---
* Drop the `-e CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` export from `${{ matrix.flags }}`.
  The device list is still enforced by `--gpus`, but the runtime now
  starts counting at 0 as expected.

Verified on:
* Two concurrent nvidiagpu runners on a 4-V100 host – full test suite passes.
* amdgpu runner – unchanged.
