summary:

[3.11] gh-92530: Fix an issue that occurred after interrupting threading.Condition.notify (GH-92534) (GH-92829)



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.
(cherry picked from commit 70af994fee7c0850ae859727d9468a5f29375a38)
