Calling inspect.signature with an AsyncMock instance raises an exception

[yvan-the-barbarian]

Bug report

Starting in Python 3.10.6, the following code raises an exception:

from inspect import signature
from unittest.mock import AsyncMock

mock = AsyncMock()
signature(mock)

• No exception is raised when Mock is used.
• The exception does not occur with Python 3.10.5.

Your environment

• CPython versions tested on: 3.10.4, 3.10.5, 3.10.6 (Only occurs in 3.10.6)
• Operating system and architecture: Windows 10, Linux (Official Docker Image)
