[3.13] gh-120860: Fix a few bugs in `type_setattro` error paths. (GH-120861) (#120963)

Moves the logic to update the type's dictionary to its own function in order
to make the lock scoping more clear.

Also, ensure that `name` is decref'd on the error path.
(cherry picked from commit dee63cb35971b87a09ddda5d6f29cd941f570720)
