[3.13] pythongh-129668: Fix thread-safety of MemoryError freelist in free threaded build (pythongh-129704) (pythongh-129742)

The MemoryError freelist was not thread-safe in the free threaded build.
Use a mutex to protect accesses to the freelist. Unlike other freelists,
the MemoryError freelist is not performance sensitive.

(cherry picked from commit 51b4edb)
