Description

## Describe the bug

Model I am using (Bert, XLNet ...): bert-base-chinese

The problem arises when using:
* [https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/master/examples/research_projects/mlm_wwm/run_mlm_wwm.py] the official example scripts: `rum_mlm_wwm.py`

The tasks I am working on is: pretraining whole word masking with my own dataset and ref.json file
I tried follow the run_mlm_wwm.py procedure to do whole word masking on pretraining task. my file is in .txt form, where one line represents one sample, with `9,264,784` chinese lines in total. the ref.json file is also contains 9,264,784 lines of whole word masking reference data for my chinese corpus. but when I try to adapt the run_mlm_wwm.py script, it shows that somehow after
`datasets["train"] = load_dataset(...`
`len(datasets["train"])` returns `9,265,365`
then, after `tokenized_datasets = datasets.map(...`
`len(tokenized_datasets["train"])` returns `9,265,279`
I'm really confused and tried to trace code by myself but can't know what happened after a week trial.

I want to know what happened in the `load_dataset()` function and `datasets.map` here and how did I get more lines of data than I input. so I'm here to ask.
## To reproduce
Sorry that I can't provide my data here since it did not belong to me. but I'm sure I remove the blank lines.

## Expected behavior
I expect the code run as it should. but the AssertionError in line 167 keeps raise as the line of reference json and datasets['train'] differs.

Thanks for your patient reading!
