GraphBolt Convert Partition Process Spawn Error when n_jobs > 1

@mfbalin, @Rhett-Ying When converting partitions of dgl to FusedCSCSamplingGraph of GraphBolt using dgl.distributed.dgl_partition_to_graphbolt, I get the following error when n_jobs > 1. I set n_jobs to 2 which is the number of partitions. Works fine when n_jobs = 1. It appears to be a process spawning error:

        This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
        child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
        in the main module:

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                freeze_support()
                ...

        The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
        is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

concurrent.futures.process.BrokenProcessPool: A process in the process pool was terminated abruptly while the future was running or pending.

Also, in the source code, the signature is this:

def dgl_partition_to_graphbolt(
    part_config,
    *,
    store_eids=True,
    store_inner_node=False,
    store_inner_edge=False,
    graph_formats=None,
    n_jobs=1,
):

But in the latest documentation, the signature is this:

dgl.distributed.dgl_partition_to_graphbolt(
    part_config,
    *,
    store_eids=False,
    store_inner_node=False,
    store_inner_edge=False
)

There is no graph_formats and n_jobs params in the documentation. Are these not supposed to be used?
