MONAI bundle instantiate fails when `_target_` contains `path` attribute

[surajpaib]

Describe the bug
MONAI bundle instantiate fails when _target_ contains path attribute
The following error is thrown,

To Reproduce
I created a dataset.py file with the following

class MyDataset:
    def __init__(self, path=None) -> None:
        self.path = path
        print(path)

and run the following code which throws an error

    config = {
        "dataset": {
            "_target_": "dataset.MyDataset",
            "path": "test.csv"
        }

    }
    run("dataset", **config)

Error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/suraj/anaconda3/envs/lightningssl/lib/python3.8/site-packages/monai/bundle/config_item.py", line 283, in instantiate
    return instantiate(modname, **args)
TypeError: instantiate() got multiple values for argument 'path'

Expected behavior
The dataset object should be instantiated.

Additional context
Seems like the issue is here:

MONAI/monai/utils/module.py

Line 217 in 734d4ff

def instantiate(path: str, **kwargs):

where the instantiate uses has a path attribute itself, causing the duplication when path is passed in kwargs as well.

Since path is a very common attribute used in datasets, it might be prudent to change the name of this argument to a non-conflicting name

[wyli]

thanks for reporting, it makes sense to use a less common argument, perhaps _path or __path..

[surajpaib]

I agree. I'm happy to contribute to the change as well!
