What does this PR do ?

In previous implementation, reduce across DP is added for the correct aux_loss logging. However, current reduction will cause redundant communication

  • For seq_load_balancing_loss and load_balancing_loss, self.tp_cp_group is used (code, code)
  • For global_load_balancing_loss, self.tp_dp_cp_group is used (code).

Therefore, related reduction has already been conducted across corresponding parallel group. And we can remove the duplicated one for better perf.

This is PR for dev branch and the PR for main branch is in PR2095

⚠️ For major changes (either in lines of code or in its impact), please make sure to first share discuss a design-doc with the team.
