SINGA-387 Modified the design of autograd backward engine and correct some 
mistakes in it

one of alternative solutions, the simplest one:
- output every intermediate gradient once it is calcualted and sum these 
gradients togather in the funciton gradients().

> Old design of autograd engine will return intermediate gradients. We should 
> avoid the happen of that. For the parameters(tensors) need to store 
> gradients, they or their creator should know whether the gradients are 
> calculated readily. and only when gradients are prepared then they can be 
> output.
> Old design of autograd engine will store some unused gradient in dictionary 
> not_ready. this should be avoid as well in the new design.
