What does this PR do?

Fixes an invalid backend error when starting a HF job with smddp in a method that goes through src/transformers/training_args.py by adding the import statement for smddp, which registers smddp as a torch.distributed backend.

this torch_smddp import is required to register smddp as a PT backend - the older version of smddp required a [different] import as well as other points of code changes which is no longer needed
