Summary

__thr_setcontext() mistakenly tested for the presence of SIGCANCEL
in its local ucontext_t instead of the parameter. Therefore,
if a thread calls setcontext() with a context whose signal mask
contains SIGTHR (a.k.a. SIGCANCEL), that signal will be blocked,
preventing the thread from being cancelled or suspended.

Reported by: gcc 6.1 via RISC-V tinderbox
