Single-threaded re-entrancy via a recursive generator causes an access violation (segfault) in `pairwise_next`

Crash report

What happened?

The existing partial fix in main (the it = po->it; if (it == NULL) re-read guard after the first tp_iternext call) does not cover the second tp_iternext call, where it is still a borrowed reference. In the single-threaded case a re-entrant call can trigger Py_CLEAR(po->it) which drops the generator's refcount to zero and frees it, leaving the outer call's local it as a dangling pointer.

Minimal reproducer:

from itertools import pairwise

def g():
    yield next(it)

for _ in range(10000):
    try:
        it = pairwise(g())
        next(it)
    except ValueError:
        pass

Exception ignored in: <generator object g at 0x...>
ValueError: generator already executing
Windows fatal exception: access violation

This is also the root cause of https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtconsole/issues/635.

Some options to address:

• Py_INCREF(it) before the second tp_iternext(it) call + Py_DECREF after, or
• a re-entrancy guard flag (like teedataobject.running) as suggested by @rhettinger.

Note: Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION (added in PR #144489) does not protect against same-thread re-entrancy.

Inizia dal punto di ingresso pairwise_next e rivedi il PR collegato gh-150589 insieme al riproduttore recursive-generator. Verifica che la seconda chiamata a tp_iternext rimanga sicura durante la rientranza nello stesso thread, quindi esegui nuovamente il riproduttore per confermare che non provochi più una violazione di accesso.
