closes bpo-39510: Fix use-after-free in BufferedReader.readinto() (GH-18295)

When called on a closed object, readinto() segfaults on account
of a write to a freed buffer:

    ==220553== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV): dumping core
    ==220553==  Access not within mapped region at address 0x2A
    ==220553==    at 0x48408A0: memmove (vg_replace_strmem.c:1272)
    ==220553==    by 0x58DB0C: _buffered_readinto_generic (bufferedio.c:972)
    ==220553==    by 0x58DCBA: _io__Buffered_readinto_impl (bufferedio.c:1053)
    ==220553==    by 0x58DCBA: _io__Buffered_readinto (bufferedio.c.h:253)

Reproducer:

    reader = open ("/dev/zero", "rb")
    _void  = reader.read (42)
    reader.close ()
    reader.readinto (bytearray (42)) ### BANG!

The problem exists since 2012 when commit dc469454ec added code
to free the read buffer on close().
