 * [ Why need Backend? ]
 *
 * Backend not only means place. Backend is a superset of place.
 *
 * Place cannot indicate the difference in calculation methods on the device,
 * but in order to make the boundary of the kernel clearer and the function
 * more specific, we need to distinguish the calculation method.
 *
 * Such as the kernel for CPU device, it can be a native CPU kernel,
 * or a kernel implemented by MKLDNN library.
 *
 * Note(chenweihang): HIP is not needed now, we can added it if needed
 * in the future

   * [ Why we need ALL in baisc kernel key member? ]
   *
   * For Tensor, ALL represents an illegal Backend, but for Kernel, some
   * kernels may be device-independent by nature, such as reshape; and when
   * and some kernels are also device-independent when implemented based on
   * primitive API.
   *
   * In this case, we need to provide a more concise registration method,
   * instead of registering the kernels for each device with almost
   * repetitive code, we need one registration covers all situations,
   * so if we provide the ALL field with Register the kernel in this statement.
   *
   * Of course, we have also considered solving this problem through different
   * named macros, for example, if we define
   *
   * PD_REGISTER_KERNEL_FOR_ALL_BACKEND
   *
   * Based on this design pattern, the dtype and layout also have the same
   * requirements, this cause we need to define a series of macros
   *
   * PD_REGISTER_KERNEL_FOR_ALL_DTYPE
   * PD_REGISTER_KERNEL_FOR_ALL_LAYOUT
   * PD_REGISTER_KERNEL_FOR_ALL_BACKEND_AND_LAYOUT
   * PD_REGISTER_KERNEL_FOR_ALL_BACKEND_AND_DTYPE
   * PD_REGISTER_KERNEL_FOR_ALL_LAYOUT_AND_DTYPE
   * PD_REGISTER_KERNEL_FOR_ALL_BACKEND_AND_LAYOUT_AND_DTYPE
   *
   * It makes the system of registering macros more complicated, we think
   * this is not a simple design, so we still adopt the design of providing
   * the ALL field.
   *
   * Note: ALL_BACKEND only used for Kernel registration and selection
