    recompute intermediate activations to save then memory.

    Parameters:
        function(paddle.nn.Sequential): layer of sequence of layers that describes part of forward pass of the model  
              whose intermediate activations will be released to save memory in forward stage and will be recomputed 
              in backward stage for gradient calculation. 
        *args(Tensor): inputs to the function.    
        **kwargs(Dict): Kwargs should only contain the key-value pair of preserve_rng_state, which is used to 
              indicate whether to save the forward rng. If it is True, then the last forward rng value will be 
              restored when the forward recalculation of backpropagation is performed. The default
