[Cherry-pick] Fix backward compatibility layer in backend module

The PR pytorch#3549 re-organized the backend implementations and deprecated
the direct access to torchaudio.backend.

The change was supposed to be BC-compatible while issuing a warning
to users, but the implementation of module-level `__getattr__` was
not quite right.

See an issue pyannote/pyannote-audio#1456.

This commit fixes it so that the following imports work;

```python
from torchaudio.backend.common import AudioMetaData

from torchaudio.backend import sox_io_backend
from torchaudio.backend.sox_io_backend import save, load, info

from torchaudio.backend import no_backend
from torchaudio.backend.no_backend import save, load, info

from torchaudio.backend import soundfile_backend
from torchaudio.backend.soundfile_backend import save, load, info
```
