# What does this PR do ?

Add a new option 'use_te_activation_func' to megatron config. 

**Collection**: [Note which collection this PR will affect]

# Changelog 
- In `megatron_gpt_model.py` add support to parse `use_te_activation_func` option from config file and pass this to megatron. This is to support a new feature in megatron ([!1233](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM/pull/1233)) that uses transformerengine implementation of activation function kernel (swiglu, gelu, etc). 

# Usage
* You can potentially add a usage example below

```python
# Add a code snippet demonstrating how to use this 
```

# GitHub Actions CI

Mitigation guide:

* Add sensible and useful docstrings to functions and methods
* For trivial methods like getter/setters, consider adding `# pylint: disable=C0116` inside the function itself
* To disable multiple functions/methods at once, put a `# pylint: disable=C0116` before the first and a `# pylint: enable=C0116` after the last.

By applying these rules, we reduce the occurance of this message in future.
