[BUG] Frozen Parameters not saved when bf16 enabled but are when fp16 enabled

[ethansmith2000]

Describe the bug
When calling model_engine.save_checkpoint(), when bf16 is enabled frozen parameters will not be saved in the state_dict despite exclude_frozen_parameters=False by default.
Upon disabling bf16 training behavior reverts to normal.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Train a model with vs without bf16

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
Frozen parameters should be in the state_dict
