[SPARK-28117][ML] LDA and BisectingKMeans cache the input dataset if necessary

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
cache dataset in BisectingKMeans
cache dataset in LDA if Online solver is chosen.

## How was this patch tested?
existing test

Closes apache#24920 from zhengruifeng/bikm_cache.
