fix pthread_cond_wait cancellation race
it's possible that signaling a waiter races with cancellation of that
same waiter. previously, cancellation was acted upon, causing the
signal to be consumed with no waiter returning. by using the new
masked cancellation state, it's possible to refuse to act on the
cancellation request and instead leave it pending.

to ease review and understanding of the changes made, this commit
leaves the unwait function, which was previously the cancellation
cleanup handler, in place. additional simplifications could be made by
removing it.
