Description
Now that `cloudpickle` tracks dynamically created classes, `pickle_depickle(some_dynamic_class)` does not creates a new class anymore, it just returns the one already present in the main process.
As an example if we change the reproducer of #311 by using `cloudpickle.loads(cloudpickle.dumps(a))` instead of dumping a pickle in a file and loading it in a fresh python interpreter, we don't get the reported error.
Would we want to be rigorous, we would probably have to test everything involving dynamic class construction in both settings (untracked class depickled for the first time in a child process, tracked class depickled from either a warm child process or the parent process).
