What does this PR do?
At least in some instances (e.g. conda on my m1), torch is built without distributed support enabled. This takes the form of torch.distributed.is_available() returning false and torch.distributed.is_initialized() raising an exception. In this particular method, it's enough to skip the check if it's not available.
This behavior causing this crash was added in #16487
