Title: dataset.transform() hangs indefinitely while finetuning the stable diffusion XL
State: closed

### Describe the bug

Multi-GPU fine-tuning the stable diffusion X by following https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/examples/text_to_image/README_sdxl.md hangs indefinitely.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

accelerate launch train_text_to_image_sdxl.py --pretrained_model_name_or_path=$MODEL_NAME --pretrained_vae_model_name_or_path=$VAE_NAME --dataset_name=$DATASET_NAME --enable_xformers_memory_efficient_attention --resolution=512 --center_crop --random_flip --proportion_empty_prompts=0.2 --train_batch_size=1 --gradient_accumulation_steps=4 --gradient_checkpointing --max_train_steps=10000 --use_8bit_adam --learning_rate=1e-06 --lr_scheduler="constant" --lr_warmup_steps=0 --mixed_precision="fp16" --report_to="wandb" --validation_prompt="a cute Sundar Pichai creature" --validation_epochs 5 --checkpointing_steps=5000 --output_dir="sdxl-pokemon-model"

### Expected behavior

It should start the training as it does for the single GPU training. I opened the issue in diffusers **https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/issues/5534 but it does seem to be an issue with the Pokemon dataset.

I added some debug prints

  ```
  print("==========HERE3=============")
    with accelerator.main_process_first():
        print(accelerator.is_main_process)
        print("===========Here3.1===========")
        if args.max_train_samples is not None:
            dataset["train"] = dataset["train"].shuffle(seed=args.seed).select(range(args.max_train_samples))
        print("===========Here3.2===========")
        # Set the training transforms
        train_dataset = dataset["train"].with_transform(preprocess_train)
    print("==========HERE4=============")


Corresponding Output

Detected kernel version 5.4.0, which is below the recommended minimum of 5.5.0; this can cause the process to hang. It is recommended to upgrade the kernel to the minimum version or higher.

Comments: I think the code hangs on the `accelerator.main_process_first()` context manager exit. To verify this, you can append a print statement to the end of the  `accelerator.main_process_first()` block. 


If the problem is in `with_transform`, it would help if you could share the error stack trace printed when you interrupt the process (while it hangs)@bhosalems Were you able to fix that ? I face this issue as well@matankley No I am not able to resolve this issue yet.@mariosasko yes the problem seems to be to exit from accelerator.main_process_first(). Is there any known problem?NCCL debug info I get below output, if it helps.

```Maybe @muellerzr can help as an `accelerate` maintainer.I don't know what the issue was, but after going through the thread here I loved the issue with https://github.com/huggingface/accelerate/issues/314#issuecomment-1565259831
