Return success, instead of ESRCH, from pthread_cancel(3) applied to the
exited but not yet joined thread.
Before, if the thread exited but was not yet joined, we returned
ESRCH.
According to IEEE Std 1003.1™-2017 recommendation in the
description of pthread_cancel(3):
If an implementation detects use of a thread ID after the end of its lifetime, it is recommended that the function should fail and report an [ESRCH] error.
So it seems desirable to not return ESRCH until the lifetime of the
thread ID ends. According to the section 2.9.2 Thread IDs,
The lifetime of a thread ID ends after the thread terminates if it was created with the detachstate attribute set to PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED or if pthread_detach() or pthread_join() has been called for that thread.
In other words, lifetime for thread ID of exited but not yet joined thread
did not ended yet.
