gh-90622: Do not spawn ProcessPool workers on demand via fork method. (GH-91598) (#92495)

Do not spawn ProcessPool workers on demand when they spawn via fork.

This avoids potential deadlocks in the child processes due to forking from
a multithreaded process.
(cherry picked from commit ebb37fc3fd)
