1. 1. 1. 🐛 Describe the bug

When compiling a model with `torch.compile(backend="inductor")`, if the model's `forward` method uses `torch.cat` with the keyword argument `axis` (e.g., `torch.cat([x, t], axis=1)`), compilation fails with a `TypeError`. The error indicates that an internal Inductor function does not recognize the `axis` parameter name.

The same model compiles and runs successfully with `backend="eager"` and `backend="aot_eager"`. The PyTorch API documents `axis` as a valid alias for `dim` in `torch.cat`, so this is an inconsistency within the Inductor compiler's optimization passes.

1. 1. 1. To reproduce
         ```python
         import torch.nn as nn
         import torch
         from torch import nn

class TestModel(nn.Module):

def _init_(self):
super(TestModel, self)._init_()
self.stack = nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(256, 128),
nn.Linear(128, 64),
nn.Linear(64, 10)
)

def forward(self, x, t):
X = torch.cat([x, t], axis=1)
X = torch.relu(X)
return X

input1 = torch.randn(16, 200)
input2 = torch.randn(16, 56)
model = TestModel()

def run_test(model, input, backend):
try:
model = torch.compile(model, backend=backend)
output = model(*input)
print(f"succeed on

{backend}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"failed on {backend}

:", str(e))

run_test(model, [input1, input2], "eager")
run_test(model, [input1, input2], "aot_eager")
run_test(model, [input1, input2], "inductor")
```

1. 1. 1. Error logs

```
succeed on eager
succeed on aot_eager
failed on inductor: backend='inductor' raised:
TypeError: sink_cat_after_pointwise.<locals>.cat_args() got an unexpected keyword argument 'axis'
