Gradient Checkpointing Fails with frozen parameters
### System Info

The PEFT methods freeze the bulk of the transformer, apart from an external module. 

When I enable gradient checkpointing and train with these models or even if I simply freeze an embedding layer of a normal model, training breaks. So this problem is not specific to PEFT: gradient_checkpointing + frozen first parameter = Error

But if I do
```
 for n, param in model.named_parameters():
            param.requires_grad = True
            break
```
it trains successfully. So it seems like there is a check if the first parameter has a gradient. Ideally, I would not have to set the first parameter (embedding) to True, as I want the whole model including embeddings frozen.

```

### Who can help?

_No response_

### Information

- [ ] The official example scripts
- [ ] My own modified scripts

### Tasks

- [ ] An officially supported task in the `examples` folder (such as GLUE/SQuAD, ...)
- [ ] My own task or dataset (give details below)

### Reproduction


from transformers import AutoModel

from peft import LoraConfig,  get_peft_model
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf')
config = LoraConfig(
            r=16,
            lora_alpha=32,
            target_modules=["q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj"],
            lora_dropout=0.05,
            bias="none",
            task_type="CAUSAL_LM",
        )
model = get_peft_model(model, config)

and then proceed to train with gradient_checkpointing enabled.

### Expected behavior

Gradient checkpointing shouldn't affect whether a subset of parameters are frozen. As PEFT models are increasingly popular as well as gradient_checkpointing  it makes sense to get to the bottom of this bug.

For that you need to make sure that the input being passed to the peft model has `requires_grad` set to `True`
This is a duplicate of https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/peft-lora-gpt-neox-backward-pass-failing/35641 
Can you try to add:
```python
if hasattr(model, "enable_input_require_grads"):
    model.enable_input_require_grads()
else:
    def make_inputs_require_grad(module, input, output):
         output.requires_grad_(True)

    model.get_input_embeddings().register_forward_hook(make_inputs_require_grad)
```
somewhere in your training script, before the call to `get_peft_model` ?
<|||||>I agree though we can do it directly when creating the peft model, I propose to fix it in https://github.com/huggingface/peft/pull/404<|||||>@younesbelkada Is this fix also intended to be compatible with Deepspeed?<|||||>I think it would work with DS out of the box but not sure, did you tried already on your end @bradfox2 ?<|||||>> I think it would work with DS out of the box but not sure, did you tried already on your end @bradfox2 ?

From what I saw, get_input_embeddings() wasn't defined on the DS model object.
