fix inference accuracy test

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #5348

Some accuracy tests started to fail in between Jun 11 and Jun 17:
- ❌ mask_rcnn_R_50_FPN_inference_acc_test
- ✅ keypoint_rcnn_R_50_FPN_inference_acc_test
- ✅ fast_rcnn_R_50_FPN_inference_acc_test
- ❌ panoptic_fpn_R_50_inference_acc_test
- ✅ retinanet_R_50_FPN_inference_acc_test
- ❌ rpn_R_50_FPN_inference_acc_test
- ✅ semantic_R_50_FPN_inference_acc_test
- ❌ cascade_mask_rcnn_R_50_FPN_inference_acc_test

V1: update the yaml to reflect the new scores.
V5: it turns out that we can match the old scores by disabling tf32.
