[issue29759] Deadlock in multiprocessing.pool.Pool on terminate

[Michael]

Michael added the comment:

If `task_handler._state = TERMINATE` is done before call to _help_stuff_finish(), then the following loop `while task_handler.is_alive() and inqueue._reader.poll()` in that function won't work as `is_alive()` will obviously return False.
