pthread/tst-cancel28: Fix barrier re-init race condition
When running this test on the OpenRISC port I am working on this test
fails with a timeout.  The test passes when being straced or debugged.
Looking at the code there seems to be a race condition in that:

  1 main thread: calls xpthread_cancel
  2 sub thread : receives cancel signal
  3 sub thread : cleanup routine waits on barrier
  4 main thread: re-inits barrier
  5 main thread: waits on barrier

After getting to 5 the main thread and sub thread wait forever as the 2
barriers are no longer the same.

Removing the barrier re-init seems to fix this issue.  Also, the barrier
does not need to be reinitialized as that is done by default.
