Issue:
keras adamw optimizer failed with callable parameters in TensorFlow2.16
When we were working on upgrading keras 2 to keras 3 in TensorFlow plugin, one of our adamw related unit test failed, which is a sub unit test using callable  lambda as learning_rate argument. We also found this ut failed in TensorFlow2.16 official docker image. The error log is :

Here is the root cause. If learning_rate is a callable object, then it doesn't need any arguments. 
I might give this one a stab if no one picks it up.
@kapoor1992 , You can create a PR
@sachinprasadhs Will do :)
