Enable ZeRO-3 linear wrapper for existing models (#8189) Passing an already-constructed model to `deepspeed.initialize()` with ZeRO-3 and `memory_efficient_linear=true` does not install the ZeRO-3 Linear wrapper. The wrapper is currently installed only when the model is constructed inside a `deepspeed.zero.Init()` context. Without the wrapper, the standard Linear implementation can retain the gathered weight storage until backward completes, significantly increasing memory usage. This PR activates the existing ZeRO-3 Linear wrapper for the `deepspeed.initialize(model=...)` path when `memory_efficient_linear=true`, without requiring a `deepspeed.zero.Init()` context. --------- Signed-off-by: Masahiro Tanaka <mtanaka@anyscale.com>
