This commit works with a 4 GPU run on SMALL model with FSDP and PP enabled.
- Clean up flatten and non_flatten parameter generation logic. - Avoid checking `main_grad` attribute all equal to zeros.
- Cleans up amax and scale update logic. Amax and scale should be done for both weights and parameters. So it should be done at forward of each microbatch. - Consolidate `cast_params` and `all_gather` stream.

Thanks @levendlee for the great work! I left some comments for my own learning.

For my understanding, why empty_like instead of zeros_like?

Curious why did you use the "all_gather" stream instead of the "fp32_to_fp16" stream?

For my understanding, is there a reason that this is not done together with _cast_params_for_all_gather? (For example, could this call be delayed a few lines to below where _cast_params_for_all_gather is called?)

For fp8_all_gather=True, what happens when this method is called without the TE autocast context?
