Victor Stinner 6df22cbf60 [3.12] gh-128679: Fix tracemalloc.stop() race conditions (#128897) (#129022)
[3.13] gh-128679: Fix tracemalloc.stop() race conditions (#128897)

tracemalloc_alloc(), tracemalloc_realloc(), PyTraceMalloc_Track(),
PyTraceMalloc_Untrack() and _PyTraceMalloc_TraceRef() now check
tracemalloc_config.tracing after calling TABLES_LOCK().

_PyTraceMalloc_Stop() now protects more code with TABLES_LOCK(),
especially setting tracemalloc_config.tracing to 1.

Add a test using PyTraceMalloc_Track() to test tracemalloc.stop()
race condition.

Call _PyTraceMalloc_Init() at Python startup.

The Python C API
================

The C API is divided into these sections:

1. ``Include/``: Limited API
2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details
3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can
   change between minor releases
4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API

Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_
