Rich Felker 8741ffe625 fix pthread_cond_wait cancellation race
it's possible that signaling a waiter races with cancellation of that
same waiter. previously, cancellation was acted upon, causing the
signal to be consumed with no waiter returning. by using the new
masked cancellation state, it's possible to refuse to act on the
cancellation request and instead leave it pending.

to ease review and understanding of the changes made, this commit
leaves the unwait function, which was previously the cancellation
cleanup handler, in place. additional simplifications could be made by
removing it.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
