Description

🐛 Describe the bug
dp = ...
dp = dp.sharding_filter()
rs = MultiProcessingReadingService(num_workers=4)
dataloader = DataLoader2(dp, reading_service=rs)

for _ in dataloader:
    pass

dataloader.shutdown()
Exception: Can not request next item while we are still waiting response for previous request
This exception is thrown by __iter__ of _IterateQueueDataPipes(datapipes=[QueueWrapper, QueueWrapper, QueueWrapper, QueueWrapper])

Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided DataLoader2 and MultiProcessingReadingService example with torchdata 0.7.1, then trace the _IterateQueueDataPipes path while iterating. Done means the loop completes without the pending-response exception and dataloader.shutdown() works normally.
