The current distributed model initialization code does not set the current GPU device to the one used for the model before initializing its NCCL communicator. This can lead to potential issues where the NCCL communicator is created on a different GPU device than what the model is running on, leading to runtime crashes with NCCL operations. This PR adds appropriate device settings where required to resolve this issue.
