[3.13] gh-107851: Fix spurious failures in fcntl eintr tests (GH-121556
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…) (#121585)

On heavily loaded machines, the subprocess may finish its sleep before
the parent process manages to synchronize with it via a failed lock.

This leads to errors like:

  Exception: failed to sync child in 300.3 sec

Use pipes instead to mutually synchronize between parent and child.
(cherry picked from commit af9f6de)
