What does this PR do?

Fixes #17665

Currently, loading checkpoint does not work when using a multithreading-based strategy (for example, XLA + PJRT). The context manager pl_legacy_patch makes legacy module lightning.pytorch.utilities.argparse_utils temporarily available in its context by adding it to the sys.modules on enter and removing it on exit. But when used with threading, because sys.modules is shared between threads, one of them tries to delete already deleted entry, causing exception (but silently on XLA).

This PR fixes this issue by introducing following changes:

  • Fixes broken test test_legacy_ckpt_threading which always passes even though exceptions are raising from threads.
  • Re-introduce locking to pl_legacy_patch context manager which was reverted in commit 277b0b8

Looks great. I checked that the modified test case reproduces the problem (see past commit).

@awaelchli Do you remember why you removed the lock in #15237? I couldn't find any comment about it.
