fix pthread_cancel lead to segmentation fault for x86_64.
When x86_64 cpu contains 'cpu_has_xsave' flag(in kernel),call the pthread_cancel will have a segmentation fault. Because gcc could not find the end of stack in user signal stack. Signed-off-by: Zhang Pu <glen4linux@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Bernhard Reutner-Fischer <rep.dot.nop@gmail.com>
