request.getfixturevalue results in recursive dependency error #133

Description

@bwhitt7

When running numpy/_core/tests/test_finfo.py with pytest-run-parallel and 3.14t-dev, it results in test failures for the entire file. All errors seem to involve request.getfixturevalue, printing out recursive dependency involving fixture ... detected. The test file uses request.getfixturevalue to get fixtures through @pytest.mark.parametrize.

An error from the test file:

Strangely enough, the test runs fine under pytest-run-parallel when using a GIL-enabled build of Python. So this request.getfixturevalue bug likely involves free-threaded Python in some way (in contrast, it runs fine under free-threaded Python when not ran in parallel).
