Issue: Possible memory leak when using Torch and Torchvision in conjunction with XGBoost 
Labels: module: memory usage,triaged,module: vision

### 🐛 Describe the bug

I had an issue in one of the services I work on, where it would use more and more memory until crashing. After some digging around I was able to reduce it to the following script:
```python
import argparse
import logging
import math
import os

import psutil
import torch
import torchvision
import xgboost

import numpy as np


def main() -> None:
    process = psutil.Process(os.getpid())

    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument("xgboost_model_path")
    args = parser.parse_args()

    feature_extractor = torchvision.models.vit_b_16(num_classes=512)

    predictor = xgboost.XGBClassifier(
        base_score=0.5,
        booster=None,
        colsample_bylevel=1,
        colsample_bynode=1,
        colsample_bytree=1,
        gamma=0,
        gpu_id=-1,
        importance_type="gain",
        interaction_constraints=None,
        learning_rate=0.3,
        max_delta_step=0,
        max_depth=10,
        min_child_weight=1,
        missing=math.nan,
        monotone_constraints=None,
        n_estimators=300,
        n_jobs=32,
        num_parallel_tree=1,
        objective="multi:softprob",
        random_state=0,
        reg_alpha=0,
        reg_lambda=1,
        scale_pos_weight=None,
        subsample=1,
        tree_method=None,
        validate_parameters=False,
        verbosity=0,
    )
    predictor.load_model(args.xgboost_model_path)

    frames_torch = torch.rand((1, 3, 224, 224), device="cpu")
    i = 0
    while True:
        with torch.no_grad():
            embedding = feature_extractor(frames_torch).numpy().mean(axis=0)
        if i == 0:
            logging.warning(f"Mem usage (embedding) {process.memory_percent()}")
        features = np.expand_dims(embedding, 0)
        predictor.predict_proba(features)
        i = (i + 1) % 10

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```
which uses the following xgboost model: [xgboost_classifier.txt](https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/files/11720066/xgboost_classifier.txt) (txt format becuase github doesn't allow JSON, apparently).

I left this script running for a day and memory usage grew from 640MB to about 9GB. This issue seems to depend on the import order, if XGBoost is imported before torch and torchvision the memory usage is more or less constant (I didn't leave it to run for the same amount of time but I didn't see an upwards trend that's clearly visible otherwise).
