This comment is cryptic here. It doesn't say why it's here nor in which situation the "non-viable thread state" occurs.

The other key part of this change is here, where we pass in the interpreter separately from the thread state, which allows tstate to be NULL.

{
_Py_EnsureTstateNotNULL(tstate);
struct _ceval_state *ceval = &tstate->interp->ceval;
/* If tstate is NULL then we do not expect the current thread
to acquire the GIL ever again. */
assert(tstate == NULL || tstate->interp == interp);
struct _ceval_state *ceval = &interp->ceval;
drop_gil(ceval, tstate);
}
