Issue: sparse.eye calls Numpy preventing JIT

### Description

```
from jax import jit, numpy as jnp
from jax.experimental.sparse import eye


def f(A):
    n = A.shape[0]
    return eye(n)


A = jnp.ones([3, 3])
f(A)
# BCOO(float32[3, 3], nse=3)
jit(f)(A)
# TracerArrayConversionError ...
```

The problem function is:

https://github.com/google/jax/blob/42e367af9c58cb67496e235eddf325aa285600e4/jax/_src/lax/lax.py#L4708-L4713

I think the return could just be changed to `jnp.array`.
