PyObject_GenericSetAttr() doesn't keep a reference to the descriptor: Python does crash if the descriptor is destroyed while the attribute is set. Attached patch keeps a reference to the desriptor to avoid the crash.

A smililar was done in PyObject_GenericGetAttr() 8 years with the changelog "fix obscure crash in descriptor handling", see the changeset 941d49a65f06.

The patch fixes Lib/test/crashers/borrowed_ref_2.py and so removes it.
