TaoLv opened a new pull request #16555: Upgrade MKL-DNN dependency to v1.0
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/16555
 
 
   ## Description ##
   This is an effort from the whole Intel MXNet team. Credits belong to everyone in the team.
   
   This PR upgrades the 3rdparty/mkldnn dependency to it's v1.0.x release which has many API breaking changes and is not backward compatible to the previous v0.x versions. Hence this PR also changes the integration code in operators while keep the integration methodology and software architecture the same. Development has been done on the feature branch `mkldnn-v1.0` and tracked via github project: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/projects/16. 
   
   Please see the discussion here: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/f46ab920f18795496eafe713e6e9e561c684e06189085cec17b401dc@%3Cdev.mxnet.apache.org%3E
   Please see MKL-DNN v1.0 RFC here: https://github.com/intel/mkl-dnn/tree/rfc-api-changes-v1.0/doc/rfc/api-v1.0
   
   As mentioned in the dev@ thread, this PR also removes the mklml and iomp5 library which previously are distributed along with MXNet pip package. So it also fixes the license issue in https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/15544. It's a requirement for 1.6.0 release.

   - [ ] All changes have test coverage:
   - Unit tests are added for small changes to verify correctness (e.g. adding a new operator)
   - Nightly tests are added for complicated/long-running ones (e.g. changing distributed kvstore)
   - Build tests will be added for build configuration changes (e.g. adding a new build option with NCCL)
   - [ ] Code is well-documented: 
   - For user-facing API changes, API doc string has been updated. 
   - For new C++ functions in header files, their functionalities and arguments are documented. 
   - For new examples, README.md is added to explain the what the example does, the source of the dataset, expected performance on test set and reference to the original paper if applicable
