@VRehnberg Should we also add this patch to the other easyconfigs for PyTorch 1.12.1?

PyTorch-1.12.1-foss-2021a-CUDA-11.3.1.eb
PyTorch-1.12.1-foss-2021a.eb

I see no reason not to. Lets merge this first, it takes a million billion years for the test reports as usual

I agree. This is changing one test, so I am happy with the one successful test report. I'll follow up with PRs for the other easyconfigs.

Going in, thanks @VRehnberg!

I agree that doing that in a single PR would have been bloody painful w.r.t. testing, that's not was I was suggesting.

Doing it in separate PRs like @branfosj is the other extreme, but it doesn't hurt either. Good for PR stats, that's for sure. ;P

See #17737 - this change looks to be causing issues with other tests in test optim.
