Fixes #165447

On AOTAutogradCache load, the serialization function we pick is just lambda: self, because the object itself is an AOTAutogradCacheEntry. However, this isn't safe, because wrap_post_compile will make self unserializable, since it needs to load triton kernels and stuff!

So instead, on AOTAutogradCache load, we preserve the bytes that were used to load the object to begin with, and return that object on a call to serialize(). This effectively makes it so that we save a copy of the pre-hydrated artifact, without needing to do an eager copy until someone actually calls serialize.

Test Plan:

Run

import torch

class M(torch.nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.linear1 = torch.nn.Linear(2, 4)
        self.relu = torch.nn.ReLU()
        self.linear2 = torch.nn.Linear(4, 8)
    def forward(self, x):
        return self.linear2(self.relu(self.linear1(x)))

device = "cuda"
m = M().to(device)
sample_inputs = (torch.randn(2, 2, device=device),)
eager_out = m(*sample_inputs)

with torch._dynamo.config.patch("enable_aot_compile", True):
    compiled_fn_path = "./m.pt"
    compiled_fn = torch.compile(
        m,
        fullgraph=True
    ).forward.aot_compile((sample_inputs, {}))

    compiled_fn.save_compiled_function(compiled_fn_path)
    torch._dynamo.reset()
    with torch.compiler.set_stance("fail_on_recompile"):
        with open(compiled_fn_path, "rb") as f:
            loaded_fn = torch.compiler.load_compiled_function(f)

assert loaded_fn is not None

compiled_out = loaded_fn(m, *sample_inputs)

assert torch.allclose(eager_out, compiled_out)

twice, see that it succeeds.

On AOTAutogradCache load, the serialization function we pick is just lambda: self, because the object itself is an AOTAutogradCacheEntry. However, this isn't safe, because `wrap_post_compile` will make `self` unserializable, since it needs to load triton kernels and stuff!

So instead, on AOTAutogradCache load, we preserve the bytes that were used to load the object to begin with, and return that object on a call to serialize(). This effectively makes it so that we save a copy of the pre-hydrated artifact, without needing to do an eager copy until someone actually calls `serialize`.

        self.relu = torch.nn.ReLU()
        self.linear2 = torch.nn.Linear(4, 8)
    def forward(self, x):
        return self.linear2(self.relu(self.linear1(x)))

device = "cuda"
m = M().to(device)
sample_inputs = (torch.randn(2, 2, device=device),)

        m,
