Insert/Extract from Serialization Wrapper only if it is necessary (#1001)

Summary:
Fixes #960

### Changes
- Remove `SerializationWrapper` from the graph. When serialization is needed like multiprocess, we attach the wrapper before serialization and remove the wrapper after deserialization
- When `clone`, we don't need to rely on `SerializationWrapper` to do all `dill` trick. We can do it within `clone` function
