    A singleton class that manages a memory pool for CANN tensors.
    The memory in this pool can be offloaded or discarded when the

    Inside the `use_memory_pool(tag)` context, all tensors created will
    be allocated in the memory pool, and has the same tag as the
    tag passed to the context.
    When we call `sleep`, all tensors with the specified tag will be
    offloaded to CPU memory, and the rest of the tensors will be discarded.
    When we call `wake_up`, all tensors that are previously offloaded
    will be loaded back to GPU memory, and the rest of the tensors will
    have empty memory.
    Why it needs to be a singleton?
    When allocated tensors are garbage collected, PyTorch will call
    the free callback, which will call the `python_free_callback` method.
    The C-extension uses a global variable to store the function of an
    instance of this class. If we create multiple instances of this class,
    the global variable will be overwritten and the free callback will
    not work as expected.
