Add context manager to save tensors on CPU (#61928) Summary: Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/pull/61928 Fix #57100. Creates a function `torch.autograd.graph.set_save_on_cpu_hooks()` which can be used to register default hooks under which all tensors saved during the forward pass are actually copied* to cpu, then copied back to the appropriate device for the backward pass. *If the tensor was already on cpu, the entire operation is a no op. If the tensor is on GPU, we copy the tensor to `pin_memory` during packing so that the unpacking can be done asynchronously.
