[issue8296] multiprocessing.Pool hangs when issuing KeyboardInterrupt

[Ask Solem]

Ask Solem <askh at opera.com> added the comment:

On closer look your patch is also ignoring SystemExit. I think it's beneficial to honor SystemExit, so a user could use this as a means to replace the current process with a new one.

If we keep that behavior, the real problem here is that the
result handler hangs if the process that reserved a job is gone, which is going to be handled
by #9205. Should we mark it as a duplicate?
