Pull request: remove dtensors, not explicit

# What does this PR do?
Removed dtensor redistribute for many reasons: 
- 2x slower for the add of the bias
- not explicit enough
- does not allow us to run deepspeed 
- we were already not using tensors for MoE because of how cumbersome doing a .view was
