PR#5104 (Remove optimizer step on initialization) breaks loading universal checkpoint for BF16_Optimizer.
This is since universal checkpoint attempts to load the optimizer states into lp._hp_mapping.optim_state dictionary before they are initialized (by step).
As a workaround for loading universal checkpoint, perform step and init hp params optimizer's states before loading from universal checkpoint files.
