# called when holding _fork_lock, other threads in this process
# can call _checkpid() which compares self.pid and os.getpid() without
# holding any lock (for performance reasons). keeping this assignment
# as the last operation ensures that those other threads will also
# notice a pid difference and block waiting for the first thread to
# release _fork_lock. when each of these threads eventually acquire
# _fork_lock, they will notice that another thread already called
# reset() and they will immediately release _fork_lock and continue on.
