Description
I trained my model whith the loss decrease quickly. I encountered the "ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero" exception at the following place. I think it should somehow handle the case, though it is weird.

Research direction
Start at apex/amp/scaler.py line 183 and reproduce the ZeroDivisionError with the reported training condition. Trace the scaler calculation to determine the expected zero-loss behavior; done means the condition no longer raises unexpectedly and a regression check covers it.
