Ok, the patch is definitely better then my proposal. But it has several
details that seems to need correction.

First, if TDP_WAKEUP-marked thread receives any non-cancellation signal,
then a syscall returns with EINTR. This breaks SA_RESTART.

Also, I think that a condition to perform cancellation in thr_syscalls.c
should be not (ret =3D=3D -1), but (ret =3D=3D -1 && errno =3D=3D EINTR).
