This class should be used together with the `spawn(..., start_method='fork')`

Instead of creating models on each multiprocessing process, hence replicating
the model's initial host memory, the model is created once at global scope,
and then moved into each device inside the `spawn()` target function.

WRAPPED_MODEL = xmp.MpModelWrapper(MyNetwork())

device = xm.xla_device()
model = WRAPPED_MODEL.to(device)
...
xmp.spawn(_mp_fn, ..., start_method='fork')

pages to host the original model weights, and second it serializes the move
of the wrapped model into each device, by lowering the load onto the system
memory during the process.
