Description
The backward pass doesn't appear in the Module View. Is there a plan to add this?
The two red arrows below mark where the backward pass should appear:

Here is the backward pass as seen in the Trace View:

This profile was generated using your sample script resnet50_profiler_api.py and with python3.10, pytorch 1.12.0.dev20220408+cu113, and Ubuntu 20.04.
Many thanks for your great work on Kineto!

Research direction
Reproduce the profile using tb_plugin/examples/resnet50_profiler_api.py with the reported Python, PyTorch, and Ubuntu versions, then compare Module View with Trace View. Trace where the backward-pass operations are represented and verify that they appear in Module View at the locations marked in the report.
