handle pending cancellation when enabling async cancellation
this is not strictly required by the standard, but without it, there is a race condition where cancellation arriving just before async cancellation is enabled might not be acted upon. it is impossible for a conforming application to work around this race condition since calling pthread_testcancel after setting async cancellation mode is not allowed (pthread_testcancel is not specified to be async-cancel-safe). thus the implementation should be responsible for eliminating the race, from a quality-of-implementation standpoint.
