A change to sync with pickle.py:

find_class(): We no longer mask all exceptions[1] by transforming them
into SystemError.  The latter is definitely not the right thing to do,
so we let any exceptions that occur in the PyObject_GetAttr() call to
simply propagate up if they occur.

[1] Note that pickle only masked ImportError, KeyError, and
AttributeError, but cPickle masked all exceptions.
