Since it's a regression introduced in Python 3.5.1, I propose to
introduce a new private function _PyThreadState_FastGet() to
reintroduce the feature:
https://bugs.python.org/issue26154

Using afunction instead of using directly the variable hides how
atomic variables are implemented and so avoid compiler issues.
