Description:
Gpt2 beam search model uses 2.5x memory (For example, 0.6G model uses 1.5G memory). The cause is initializers kept in subgraph uses more memory in Model creation and resolving graph in ORT (It looks like a bug that duplicates initializers). Here we use a walkaround to move initializers from subgraph to main graph.
T5 cannot apply similar walkaround since ORT will fail. The cause need investigation so this PR only applies to gpt2.
