The reason for the testcancel() calls there is that async cancellation
is defined as to be acted upon at any time after the cancellation is
enabled.  If we have pending cancellation request, the async cancellation
must proceed after the pthread_setcancelstate(PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE).

I see a bug there, namely, we should not process the cancellation if
the type is deferred.  Is this is real issue you are concerned with ?
