Add a private _at_fork_reinit() method to _thread.Lock,
_thread.RLock, threading.RLock and threading.Condition classes:
reinitialize the lock after fork in the child process; reset the lock
to the unlocked state.

Rename also the private _reset_internal_locks() method of
threading.Event to _at_fork_reinit().

* Add _PyThread_at_fork_reinit() private function. It is excluded
  from the limited C API.
* threading.Thread._reset_internal_locks() now calls
  _at_fork_reinit() on self._tstate_lock rather than creating a new
  Python lock object.
