_PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain() contains the following check:

    PyThreadState *tstate = _PyThreadState_Swap(gilstate, NULL);
    if (tstate != NULL && tstate->interp != runtime->interpreters->main) {
        return _PyStatus_ERR("not main interpreter");
    }

os.fork() is allow in subinterpreters and PyOS_AfterFork_Child() doesn't seem to update runtime->interpreters->main.

Either we should update runtime->interpreters->main after fork in the child process, or os.fork() should be denied in subinterpreters.

In bpo-37266, I denied the creation of daemon threads in subinterpreters. But I had to revert this change: see bpo-40234.
