LSF integration with latest DCGM

LSF provides integration with DCGM so that GPU usage data can be collected in lsb.acct log file.
However, the latest LSF only supports DCGM v1.7.2, which goes with CUDA10.
For customs like us, we used CUDA11, which needs DCGM v2.1.4, and we would like LSF patches that can support this version.

    The patch is now available. Please note that is requires DCGM 2.1.7. Several issues in DCGM itself had to be fixed.

    Unfortunately DCGM 2.1 completely broke backwards compatibility, and makes it rather challenging to support DCGM 1.7 and 2.1 in the same cluster.
    We hope to have a patch available in April. In the mean time, you can still use A100 support in LSF if you disable DCGM.
