Initialized the regVal for first iteration in SGD optimizer
In runMiniBatchSGD, the regVal (for 1st iter) should be initialized
as sum of sqrt of weights if it's L2 update; for L1 update, the same logic
is followed.
It maybe not be important here for SGD since the updater doesn't take the
loss
as parameter to find the new weights. But it will give us the correct
history of loss.
However, for LBFGS optimizer we implemented, the correct loss with regVal
is crucial to
find the new weights.
