fix for #517 regression test not replicating in macos. A demo where the test fails in all scenarios can be seen here: ddorian#1

The test only asked whether the class survived the collection, which a
build without the fix can also satisfy: if the attribute lookup happened
to take a strong _PyCStackRef instead of a deferred one, or any other
reference lingered, the class stays alive and the test passes. That is
why it kept passing on mac/3.15b3 while failing on manylinux/3.15b4.

Look for the suspended greenlet in gc.get_referrers() of the class
instead. That is the reference the fix creates, so a build without it
reports the masking reference and fails wherever the class survives for
some unrelated reason.
