Bug report

Bug description:

Modification of type slots is protected by the global type lock, however, type slots are read non-atomically without holding the type lock. For example, inPyObject_SetItem:

It's not clear how we want to address this. From@colesbury in#127169 (comment):

I'd lean towards doing a stop-the-world pause when modifying the slot so that we don't need to change every read. I expect that to be a bit tricky since class definitions look like they're mutating the class.

CPython versions tested on:

3.13, 3.14, CPython main branch

Operating systems tested on:

Linux
