[3.6] Revert "bpo-34172: multiprocessing.Pool leaks resources after being deleted (GH-8450) (GH-9677)" #10969

@ned-deily, @pablogsal: I propose to revert the change since it caused a regression: @pablogsal is working on a fix https://bugs.python.org/issue35378 but I'm not fully happy with it. Even if it's a good change, I dislike pushing late fix just before a release. I would prefer to have more time to experiment the overall change and make sure that it's the best option. https://bugs.python.org/issue34172 is likely a very old bug, as old as multiprocessing. So yeah, it should be fixed, but not by changing the behavior in a stable branch. |

I fully agree with this. Is better not to change the behaviour in maintenance branches especially when the change introduces a regression. Letś iterate over this in master.
This reverts commit 07b96a9.
