What does this PR do?

The @on_main_process decorator on init_trackers was preventing tracker initialization in non-main processes, leaving the trackers array empty. This caused accelerate.get_track() to return GeneralTracker for non-main processes, resulting in attribute errors like 'GeneralTracker' object has no attribute 'log_images'.

Since GeneralTracker and its subclasses already handle calls from non-main processes appropriately, the decorator was creating unintended behavior. Removing @on_main_process ensures init_trackers runs in all processes, maintaining proper tracker initialization and preventing these errors.

Can you share a bit more about the issue that you are experiencing so that we can reproduce it ? We rarely have issues related to trackers so I want to make this doesn't create more issues
