    This initializer will set a (K, K) interpolation kernel for every channel
    of the filter identically. The resulting shape of the output feature map
    will be (B, C, factor * H, factor * W). Note that the learning rate and the
    weight decay are set to 0 in order to keep coefficient values of bilinear
    interpolation unchanged during training.
