What does this PR do?

Use model.training instead of control.should_evaluate to determine if the model is in evaluation mode.

Motivation

It is not accurate to use should_evaluate to determine the mode. For example, if the trainer needs to evaluate and log at a certain training step, then log will be executed twice at this step. The first log should be for the training metrics, but at this time should_evaluate=True, since should_evaluate means to evaluate after one step.

That's a very good point @I-l-l-I!

I've tested myself I can confirm that the current implementation has indeed the issue you describe, and that your solution works like a charm.
I've also fixed it in SFT.
