This PR extends recurrent_layer to the multi-gpu settings.
Currently, the recurrent_layer constructs a net internally (the unrolled net), https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/src/caffe/layers/recurrent_layer.cpp#L108.
No root_net_ is set in that constructor. In a multi-gpu setting, worker solver will create an unrolled net too, however it will fail at the line below, https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/blob/master/src/caffe/net.cpp#L50-L51, because the worker solver is not a root solver and the net does not have a root_net.
Since root_net is only used in share_from_root, this PR moves the check to where share_from_root is defined.
