Module Group Offloading (huggingface#10503)

* update

* fix

* non_blocking; handle parameters and buffers

* update

* Group offloading with cuda stream prefetching (huggingface#10516)

* cuda stream prefetch

* remove breakpoints

* update

* copy model hook implementation from pab

* update; ~very workaround based implementation but it seems to work as expected; needs cleanup and rewrite

* more workarounds to make it actually work

* cleanup

* rewrite

* update

* make sure to sync current stream before overwriting with pinned params

not doing so will lead to erroneous computations on the GPU and cause bad results

* better check

* update

* remove hook implementation to not deal with merge conflict

* re-add hook changes

* why use more memory when less memory do trick

* why still use slightly more memory when less memory do trick

* optimise

* add model tests

* add pipeline tests

* update docs

* add layernorm and groupnorm

* address review comments

* improve tests; add docs

* improve docs

* Apply suggestions from code review

* apply suggestions from code review

* update tests

* apply suggestions from review

* enable_group_offloading -> enable_group_offload for naming consistency

* raise errors if multiple offloading strategies used; add relevant tests

* handle .to() when group offload applied

* refactor some repeated code

* remove unintentional change from merge conflict

* handle .cuda()

+## Group offloading
+
+Group offloading is the middle ground between sequential and model offloading. It works by offloading groups of internal layers (either `torch.nn.ModuleList` or `torch.nn.Sequential`), which uses less memory than model-level offloading. It is also faster than sequential-level offloading because the number of device synchronizations is reduced.
+
+To enable group offloading, call the [`~ModelMixin.enable_group_offload`] method on the model if it is a Diffusers model implementation. For any other model implementation, use [`~hooks.group_offloading.apply_group_offloading`]:
+
+```python
+import torch
+from diffusers import CogVideoXPipeline
+from diffusers.hooks import apply_group_offloading
+from diffusers.utils import export_to_video
+
+# Load the pipeline
+onload_device = torch.device("cuda")
+offload_device = torch.device("cpu")
+pipe = CogVideoXPipeline.from_pretrained("THUDM/CogVideoX-5b", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
+
+# We can utilize the enable_group_offload method for Diffusers model implementations
+pipe.transformer.enable_group_offload(onload_device=onload_device, offload_device=offload_device, offload_type="leaf_level", use_stream=True)
+
+# For any other model implementations, the apply_group_offloading function can be used
+apply_group_offloading(pipe.text_encoder, onload_device=onload_device, offload_type="block_level", num_blocks_per_group=2)
+apply_group_offloading(pipe.vae, onload_device=onload_device, offload_type="leaf_level")
+
+prompt = (
+    "A panda, dressed in a small, red jacket and a tiny hat, sits on a wooden stool in a serene bamboo forest. "
+    "The panda's fluffy paws strum a miniature acoustic guitar, producing soft, melodic tunes. Nearby, a few other "
+    "pandas gather, watching curiously and some clapping in rhythm. Sunlight filters through the tall bamboo, "
+    "casting a gentle glow on the scene. The panda's face is expressive, showing concentration and joy as it plays. "
+    "The background includes a small, flowing stream and vibrant green foliage, enhancing the peaceful and magical "
+    "atmosphere of this unique musical performance."
+)
+video = pipe(prompt=prompt, guidance_scale=6, num_inference_steps=50).frames[0]
+# This utilized about 14.79 GB. It can be further reduced by using tiling and using leaf_level offloading throughout the pipeline.
+print(f"Max memory reserved: {torch.cuda.max_memory_allocated() / 1024**3:.2f} GB")
+export_to_video(video, "output.mp4", fps=8)
+```
+
+Group offloading (for CUDA devices with support for asynchronous data transfer streams) overlaps data transfer and computation to reduce the overall execution time compared to sequential offloading. This is enabled using layer prefetching with CUDA streams. The next layer to be executed is loaded onto the accelerator device while the current layer is being executed - this increases the memory requirements slightly. Group offloading also supports leaf-level offloading (equivalent to sequential CPU offloading) but can be made much faster when using streams.

 ## FP8 layerwise weight-casting
 
 PyTorch supports `torch.float8_e4m3fn` and `torch.float8_e5m2` as weight storage dtypes, but they can't be used for computation in many different tensor operations due to unimplemented kernel support. However, you can use these dtypes to store model weights in fp8 precision and upcast them on-the-fly when the layers are used in the forward pass. This is known as layerwise weight-casting.
