`StatefulPartitionedCall` is unsupported, preventing OpenAI GPT-2 models from getting converted

TensorFlow.js version

2.2.0

Browser version

Irrelevant

Describe the problem and code to reproduce

I’m trying to convert a GPT-2 model using tfjs library. Following recommendations on this answer, I exported the GPT-2 model as SavedModel.

!python3 -m pip install -q git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
!python3 -m pip install tensorflow tensorflowjs

Then ran the following code to export the SavedModel xx.pb file.

from transformers import TFGPT2LMHeadModel, GPT2Tokenizer
import tensorflowjs
tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")
# add the EOS token as PAD token to avoid warnings
model = TFGPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained("gpt2", pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id)
model.save("./test_gpt2")

Then I ran this command to convert the SavedModel to tfjs compatible file.

!tensorflowjs_converter \
    --input_format=tf_saved_model \
    --output_node_names='gpt2' \
    --saved_model_tags=serve \
    /content/test_gpt2 \
    /content/test_gpt2_web_model

This causes an error

StatefulPartitionedCall

It says StatefulPartitionedCall is unsupported. Could it be supported please?

Just curious, does anyone have an example using the OpenAI GPT-2 model after converting it to tfjs? 😄

@elbowdonkey @mohataher I have verified gpt2 model is convertible after PR #3685, please wait for 2.1.0 release. thanks
