  Now that the thread state is tracked by 'joinstate' field, there is no
need to keep the setxid flag within the 'cancelhandling'.  It simplifies
the atomic code to set and reset it (since there is no need to handle
the thread state concurrent update).

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
