Neil Schemenauer 9626ef87f4 gh-152238: Revert gh-150490 and gh-152200. (gh-152232)
Revert commits:
    gh-151593: Fix dead lock in PyDict insert_split_key() (#152200)
    gh-150490: Raise PyType_Modified for insertion into split dictionary (#150489)

For gh-150489, it violates locking discipline and results in deadlocks,
gh-151593 is an example of it being hit in CI.  The attempted fix 
gh-152200 avoids the deadlock but introduces a data-race.  The race
window is small but can be triggered with pure Python code.

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`_
