What does this PR do?

With PP, we are calling _free_fp16_param_shard() too early. Therefore, we need to add more conditions to only call _free_fp16_param_shard() when we finished all the usage of the FP16 shard.

Thanks! With this PR we no longer have extra all gathers in bwd for the multi modal model? If so how much speed up do we see?

IIUC, this added and (...) condition is only needed for the _is_sharded == False case. Should we still free it for the _is_sharded == True case?
