                        changing variable name for inference start time for proper latency calculation when using --infer_time
sec_per_example is calculated from different start time than the experiment start and logs wrong value. Really short sec_per_example was also raised in these issues #1464 and #1468.
steps required to reproduce the bug
python3 test.py --cfg_file cfgs/nuscenes_models/cbgs_dyn_pp_centerpoint.yaml --ckpt ../checkpoints/cbgs_pp_centerpoint_nds6070.pth --infer_time

This fix solves and shows the correct sec_per_example value.
