PyObject_GetBuffer() can execute user code (e.g. via buffer), which may close or otherwise mutate a BytesIO object while write() or writelines() is in progress. This could invalidate the internal buffer and lead to a use-after-free.

Ensure that PyObject_GetBuffer() is called before validation checks. (cherry picked from commit 6d54b6a)
