…sts to avoid breaking them when updating the Eigen library in cl/747497592.
Background: The Eigen update contains a number of improvements to the use of fused-multiply-and-add instructions for both float, bfloat16, and float16, as well as changes that may alter summation order in matrix multiplication. While such changes only cause minor numerical changes locally (relative changes on the order of 2^-23, 2^-10, 2^-7, for float, float16, and bfloat16, respectively), such changes may cause sensitive ("ill-conditioned") computations to deviate more significantly, as those small changes propagate.
