Summary: This PR solves two issues: 1. When lowering the all_reduce op, Inductor expects to convert it to the in-place version, all_reduce_, but it was calling ir._AllReduceKernel.create_inplace instead of ir._AllReduce_Kernel.create_inplace. This triggers a tricky bug in AOIT because it generates cpp call to the functional version aoti_torch_cpu__c10d_functional_all_reduce, but later corresponding wait operation will still wait on the input to aoti_torch_cpu__c10d_functional_all_reduce instead of the output from aoti_torch_cpu__c10d_functional_all_reduce. This causes unwaited tensor leading to memory leak. 2. Since AOTI generates the inplace version aoti_torch_cpu__c10d_functional_all_reduce_ now. The return tensor from aoti_torch_cpu__c10d_functional_all_reduce_ doesn't get used. It will be released when the program exists, so it's not a memory leak but it will unnecessarily hold that tensor which causes high memory water mark. This PR generates tensor delete operation right after calling aoti_torch_cpu__c10d_functional_all_reduce_. ghstack-source-id: 65b0cd1 Pull-Request: #159818
