This PR removes the masking at Padded tokens for the input embeddings.
In fairseq, the masking is applied to input embedding here but not in HF implementation. This causes MisMatch in output embedding for the padded tokens.
Ideally, it should not matter the output for padded tokens. Per the investigations from @ebsmothers, it is somehow causing results to differ for MDETR model. In order for Torch MM to upstream dependency on torchtext for RoBERTa encoder, this change is necessary.
