        The amax reduction process happens completely outside the FP8 modules.
        To participate in the reduction, the only role played by a module is
        to call this function in order to append it's FP8 tensor into a global
        buffer. There are 5 global buffers maintained, one each for amax, amax
        history, scale, scale-inverse, and non-weight-mask. Each buffer has
        keys that hold FP8 tensors. Keys have a `forward_` or `backward_` prefix
        to indicate the type of FP8 tensor, since the forward and backward
        reductions happen separately.

        Note: For CG capture, this method is called from the graphed
        wrapper. For non CG case, it's called from within the module.

             useful for scenarios like:

             * full model training using optimizer with master weights, where the high
               precision copies of weights are already present in the optimizer.
             * inference, where only the FP8 copies of the parameters are used.
             * LoRA-like fine-tuning, where the main parameters of the model do not change.

    .. note::

        Support for FP8 in the Linear layer of Transformer Engine is currently limited to tensors

        When :attr:`fp8_recipe.reduce_amax==True`, any module must not be invoked more than once
        inside a single `fp8_autocast` region. This is unsupported behavior because the amax
        reduction is handled during the exit of the `fp8_autocast` context. Calling the same
        module more than once inside an `fp8_autocast` region overrides the amax tensors
