This reverts pythongh-144055 and fixes the bug in a different way. Deferred reference counting relies on the object being tracked by the GC, otherwise the object will live until interpreter shutdown. So, take care that we do not enable deferred reference counting for objects that are untracked. Also, if a tuple has deferred reference counting enabled, don't untrack it.
