[issue16447] SEGFAULT when setting type.__name__

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment:

- For the replacement with NULL, Py_CLEAR() should be used instead.

- We should use a macro (Py_REF_ASSIGN?) for the replacement case.

- Careful, in Modules/_json.c the code is wrong because tmp is already used::

        PyObject *tmp = PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(...);
        {
            PyObject *tmp = s->encoding;
            s->encoding = tmp;
            Py_DECREF(tmp);
        }
