The implementation code for cosine attention is incorrect in swing-v2. #373

Description

To compute the L2 norm in cosine similarity, F.normalize should be used. However, the last dimension (dim=-1) is a padded dimension of size 1. Using cosine similarity on dim=-1 is incorrect, as this leads to all values becoming 1 or -1. The correct approach is to use dim=-2, to ensure the code aligns with the paper.
