Fix passing of keyword args to Dense layers in create_tower

Current behavior: kwargs are passed to tf.keras.Sequential.add, so they
are not passed on to tf.keras.layers.Dense as intended. For example,
when passing `use_bias=False` to create_tower with the kwarg name
`kernel_regularizer`, it throws an exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/brussell/development/ranking/tensorflow_ranking/python/keras/layers_test.py", line 33, in test_create_tower_with_kwargs
    tower = layers.create_tower([3, 2, 1], 1, activation='relu', use_bias=False)
  File "/Users/brussell/development/ranking/tensorflow_ranking/python/keras/layers.py", line 70, in create_tower
    model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(units=layer_width), **kwargs)

    return fn(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: add() got an unexpected keyword argument 'use_bias'
test_create_tower_with_kwargs

Fix: This PR fixes the behavior by shifting the closing paren of
tf.keras.layers.Dense to the correct location.
