Fix tst-cancel17/tst-cancelx17, which sometimes segfaults while exiting.
The testcase tst-cancel[x]17 ends sometimes with a segmentation fault. This happens in one of 10000 cases. Then the real testcase has already exited with success and returned from do_test(). The segmentation fault occurs after returning from main in _dl_fini(). In those cases, the aio_read(&a) was not canceled because the read request was already in progress. In the meanwhile aio_write(ap) wrote something to the pipe and the read request is able to read the requested byte. The read request hasn't finished before returning from do_test(). After it finishes, it writes the return value and error code from the read syscall to the struct aiocb a, which lies on the stack of do_test. The stack of the subsequent function call of _dl_fini or _dl_sort_fini, which is inlined in _dl_fini is corrupted. In case of S390, it reads a zero and decrements it by 1: unsigned int k = nmaps - 1; struct link_map **runp = maps[k]->l_initfini; The load from unmapped memory leads to the segmentation fault. The stack corruption also happens on other architectures. I saw them e.g. on x86 and ppc, too. This patch adds an aio_suspend call to ensure, that the read request is finished before returning from do_test(). ChangeLog: * nptl/tst-cancel17.c (do_test): Wait for finishing aio_read(&a).
