`Kernel._control_lock` created after it may be used

El problema está en ipykernel/kernelbase.py alrededor de la línea 347, donde se accede a _control_lock antes de que se inicialice. Revise el método __init__ de la clase kernel para ver dónde se establece _control_lock. La solución es asegurarse de que el bloqueo se cree antes de que se despachen mensajes de control. Consulte la rama enlazada como referencia para el parche y luego verifique ejecutando el kernel en un entorno simulado de alta latencia.

I ran into the following exception when running a Notebook inside VSCode with the python environment running on a remote machine (through the VSCode tunnel). The remote machine has a distributed file system which can cause significant latencies when starting a notebook from scratch, which can unearth race conditions that would be unlikely on a normal laptop or desktop machine. I guess our somewhat offbeat use case is the reason this did not get noticed before.

This was with ipykernel v7.2.0 on Redhat Linux 9 (remote machine, HPC infrastructure). I've written a patch for v7.2.0, so we can perform a minimal upgrade of our teaching setup:

https://github.com/tovrstra/ipykernel/tree/bugfix/control_lock_race

I think the same issue (_control_lock created too late) is still present in the main branch. I'll make a PR on the main branch in minute.
