…nparkAll` when handling interrupts (#114945) Fix race between `_PyParkingLot_Park` and `_PyParkingLot_UnparkAll` when handling interrupts There is a potential race when `_PyParkingLot_UnparkAll` is executing in one thread and another thread is unblocked because of an interrupt in `_PyParkingLot_Park`. Consider the following scenario: 1. Thread T0 is blocked[^1] in `_PyParkingLot_Park` on address `A`. 2. Thread T1 executes `_PyParkingLot_UnparkAll` on address `A`. It finds the `wait_entry` for `T0` and unlinks[^2] its list node. 3. Immediately after (2), T0 is woken up due to an interrupt. It then segfaults trying to unlink[^3] the node that was previously unlinked in (2). To fix this we mark each waiter as unparking before releasing the bucket lock. `_PyParkingLot_Park` will wait to handle the coming wakeup, and not attempt to unlink the node, when this field is set. `_PyParkingLot_Unpark` does this already, presumably to handle this case.
