Description

### Bug description

When SWA is used together with a model which has batch norm layers, the assertion `No inf checks were recorded for this optimizer.` is raised in the last epoch (=SWA epoch).

This worked fine with torch<2.0 but I am not sure whether it is a torch or lightning issue.

### How to reproduce the bug

```python
import os

import torch
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader, Dataset

from lightning import LightningModule, Trainer
from lightning.pytorch.callbacks import StochasticWeightAveraging
import torch.nn as nn

class RandomDataset(Dataset):
def __init__(self, size, length):
self.len = length
self.data = torch.randn(length, size)

def __getitem__(self, index):
return self.data[index]

def __len__(self):
return self.len

class BoringModel(LightningModule):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.layer = torch.nn.Linear(100, 20)

# This line is the problem even though the batch norm layer is not even used
self.norm = nn.BatchNorm1d(10)

self.ce_loss = nn.CrossEntropyLoss(weight=torch.ones(20))

def forward(self, x):
return self.layer(x)

def training_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
loss = self(batch).sum()
self.log("train_loss", loss)
return {"loss": loss}

def validation_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
loss = self.ce_loss(self(batch), self(batch))
self.log("valid_loss", loss)

def test_step(self, batch, batch_idx):
loss = self(batch).sum()
self.log("test_loss", loss)

def configure_optimizers(self):
return torch.optim.Adam(self.layer.parameters(), lr=0.1)

def run():
train_data = DataLoader(RandomDataset(100, 64), batch_size=2)
val_data = DataLoader(RandomDataset(100, 64), batch_size=2)

model = BoringModel()
trainer = Trainer(
default_root_dir=os.getcwd(),
limit_train_batches=2,
limit_val_batches=1,
limit_test_batches=1,
num_sanity_val_steps=0,
max_epochs=10,
enable_model_summary=False,
callbacks=[StochasticWeightAveraging(swa_lrs=1e-2)],
precision=16,
accelerator='gpu',
devices=1,
)
trainer.fit(model, train_dataloaders=train_data, val_dataloaders=val_data)

if __name__ == "__main__":
run()
```

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the supplied SWA, batch-normalization, and mixed-precision example, then inspect the optimizer-step path in lightning/pytorch/plugins/precision/amp.py and the surrounding optimizer code named in the traceback. Add regression coverage for the final SWA epoch and verify training completes without the assertion.
