### Impact Inputs `dense_features` or `example_state_data` not of rank 2 will trigger a `CHECK` fail in [`SdcaOptimizer`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/kernels/sdca_internal.cc).

```python import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.SdcaOptimizer( sparse_example_indices=4 * [tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.int64, maxval=100)], sparse_feature_indices=4 * [tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.int64, maxval=100)], sparse_feature_values=8 * [tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.float32, maxval=100)], dense_features=4 * [tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.float32, maxval=100)], example_weights=tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.float32, maxval=100), example_labels=tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.float32, maxval=100), sparse_indices=4 * [tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.int64, maxval=100)], sparse_weights=4 * [tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.float32, maxval=100)], dense_weights=4 * [tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.float32, maxval=100)], example_state_data=tf.random.uniform([5,5,5,3], dtype=tf.dtypes.float32, maxval=100), loss_type="squared_loss", l1=0.0, l2=0.0, num_loss_partitions=1, num_inner_iterations=1, adaptative=False,) ```

### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [80ff197d03db2a70c6a111f97dcdacad1b0babfa](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/80ff197d03db2a70c6a111f97dcdacad1b0babfa).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
