summary:

gh-92530: Fix an issue that occurred after interrupting threading.Condition.notify (GH-92534)

If Condition.notify() was interrupted just after it released the waiter lock,
but before removing it from the queue, the following calls of notify() failed
with RuntimeError: cannot release un-acquired lock.
