Thomas Viehmann 0521c47c91 Amend nondeterminism notes (#12217)
Summary:
include atomicAdd commentary as this is less well known

There is some discussion in #12207

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get the ..include working in `_tensor_docs.py` and `_torch_docs.py`. I could use a hint for that.

.. note::
In some circumstances when using the CUDA backend with CuDNN, this operator
may select a nondeterministic algorithm to increase performance. If this is
undesirable, you can try to make the operation deterministic (potentially at
a performance cost) by setting ``torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic =
True``.
Please see the notes on :doc:`/notes/randomness` for background.
