Weird interaction with pytest-mock: not requesting event_loop fixture leads to errors

[twisteroidambassador]

Consider the two test cases below:

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_mocksocket_mocker(mocker):
    mocker.patch('socket.socket', wraps=MockSocket)
    pass


@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_mocksocket_loop_mocker(event_loop, mocker):
    mocker.patch('socket.socket', wraps=MockSocket)
    pass

The top one reports ERROR at teardown of test_mocksocket_mocker. The bottom one does not report any error. The only difference between them is that the bottom one requests the event_loop fixture.

The error message is quite long. It seems to be caused by MockSocket still being active when _provide_clean_event_loop() is called, and the new event loop failing at initialization.

Also, if the test case calls unittest.mock.patch instead of mocker.patch, then there is no error.

Attached is the test file, full console output, and package versions. This is running on Windows 10.
