Issue:  subprocess tensor creation  gets stuck
Labels: module: multiprocessing,triaged,module: deadlock

### 🐛 Describe the bug

When a tensor creation exceeding a certain size is executed in the main process, subsequent tensor creation within a worker process gets stuck. If either of these tensors is relatively small, the issue doesn't occur.

```
import torch
from torch.multiprocessing import Process
def worker():
    print("start")
    torch.zeros((20000, 3))
    print("done")
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    torch.zeros((20000, 3))
    num_gpus = torch.cuda.device_count()

    processes = []

    for gpu_id in range(num_gpus):
        p = Process(target=worker, args=())
        p.start()
        processes.append(p)

    for p in processes:
        p.join()

```
