LGTM, but I have not checked the implementation details of Functional Mechanism: Regression Analysis under Differential Privacy. And please refer to the inline comments for minor suggestions, thx!

In the funcational mechanism original paper, the noise addition process is performed only once for the objective function, while your implementation performs noise addition in each iteration, is this supported by the theory?

An interesting discussion about whether l2 regularization should be applied to beta and gamma of BN layers: https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/weight-decay-in-the-optimizers-is-a-bad-idea-especially-with-batchnorm/16994.
IMO, we can keep the implementation same as that in torch.norm

The current torch.norm will calculate the l2 norm for all parameters including bn weight and bias.
For now, we use the parameter skip_bn to aovid calculating l2-norm for bn layer(with 'bn' in its name).
