🐛 Describe the bug

The test_gpu_utilization.py test is failing in CI but I can also reproduce it on a 80GB A100 GPU.

In https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/tests/entrypoints/llm/test_gpu_utilization.py, 3 LLM instances are started at the same time with 0.3 memory utilization. The first one is able to start but for the second one, determine_available_memory() returns a negative number. This is because the code below seems to fail to take into account that non-torch allocated memory could be from other processes. So although the memory is still 70% free when the second instance comes up, it think that it is out of memory.

        non_torch_allocations = total_allocated_bytes - torch_allocated_bytes
        if non_torch_allocations > 0:
            peak_memory += non_torch_allocations
        available_kv_cache_memory = (
            total_gpu_memory * self.cache_config.gpu_memory_utilization -
            peak_memory)
