Issue:
nnx.nn.LoRA does not respect dtype argument
### System information
Reproduced on Google Colab (CPU runtime)

flax: 0.10.5
jax: 0.5.2
jaxlib: 0.5.1
python: 3.11.11 (main, Dec  4 2024, 08:55:07) [GCC 11.4.0]
platform: Linux-6.1.85+-x86_64-with-glibc2.35

### Problem you have encountered:

Unlike nnx.nn.Linear, nnx.nn.LoRA does perform the computation in the passed in dtype.

```
import platform
import sys

import flax
import jax
import jax.numpy as jnp
import jaxlib
from flax.nnx import Linear, LoRA, Rngs

print(f"flax: {flax.__version__}")
print(f"jax: {jax.__version__}")
print(f"jaxlib: {jaxlib.__version__}")

print(f"python: {sys.version}")
print(f"platform: {platform.platform()}")

linear = Linear(
    in_features=1,
    out_features=1,
    dtype=jnp.float16,
    param_dtype=jnp.float16,
    rngs=Rngs(0),
)
lora = LoRA(
    in_features=1,
    lora_rank=1,
    out_features=1,
    dtype=jnp.float16,
    param_dtype=jnp.float16,
    rngs=Rngs(0),
)

one = jnp.ones((1), dtype=jnp.float32)
print(linear(one).dtype)
print(lora(one).dtype)
```

The output is:

```
float16
float32
```

### What you expected to happen:

Both outputs should be float16. Currently, the dtype argument is ignored.
