[from_pretrained] Make from_pretrained fast again (#27709)

* Skip nn.Module.reset_parameters

* Actually skip

* Check quality

* Maybe change all inits

* Fix init issues: only modify public functions

* Add a small test for now

* Style

* test updates

* style

* nice tes

* style

* make it even faster

* one more second

* remove fx icompatible

* Update tests/test_modeling_common.py
