change: eliminate dependency on mnist dataset website

[knakad]

This commit will modify the folder structure to avoid needing to
download the datasets and relying on the dataset website from being
available.
This caused a canary to fail (TT-0407832742).

The dependency has existed since Pytorch 1.1 upgrade, as the directory
structure was modified in pytorch/vision#601
