Subject: [3.11] Revert "gh-46376: Return existing pointer when possible in
 ctypes (GH-107131) (GH-107488)" (#108412)

This reverts commit 57f27e444175a8a5ffcd86971e06de61c1c38628.

The fix caused gh-107940. Until we have a bulletproof fix for that, the 3.11 backport needs to be reverted to make way for 3.11.5.
