### How would you like to use vllm

## Description
Afer merging https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/10482 , torch.compile still generates multiple subprocesses((similar to the issue described in #10480). 
I found that the number of threads for torch.compile is determined when `importing torch`(see:[compile_threads](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/v2.5.1/torch/_inductor/config.py#L579)), so setting 
 env`TORCHINDUCTOR_COMPILE_THREADS` after `importing torch` will not take effect
## Example code
###  multiple subprocesses
```python
import os
import torch
os.environ["TORCHINDUCTOR_COMPILE_THREADS"] = "1"

@torch.compile
def add(x: torch.tensor):
    x = x + 2
```
### without  multiple subprocesses

```python
import os
os.environ["TORCHINDUCTOR_COMPILE_THREADS"] = "1"
import torch
@torch.compile
def add(x: torch.tensor):
    x = x + 2

```
