Appended fused operations in cov2d for int8 were computed in a separate loop from the main conv2d computation:

for i in ... parallel
  for j in ...
    accumulator = 0
    for k in ..
      vectorized_multiply_add(accumulator, data, kernel)
    out = accumulator
  for j in ..
    out = out + fused subsequent ops

This patch moves the fused ops one more loop nesting inwards to get

for i in ... parallel
  for j in ...
    accumulator = 0
    for k in ..
      vectorized_multiply_add(accumulator, data, kernel)
    out = accumulator + fused subsequent ops

On quantized mobilenetv2, this results in approximately a 30% speedup.

makes sense, and good speed up!

Curious how much it helps for other models. At first I thought this would be a bigger win for larger workloads (with corresponding larger write cache). It is easy to test quantized resnet50, inception v3, or mobilenet v3 via PyTorch.
