[PATCH] Fix subtle race in tst-cancel2 / tst-cancelx2

[Vineet.Gupta1@synopsys.com (Vineet Gupta)]

When ran on ARC, these tests would ocassionally fail

| [ARCLinux]# for i in 1 2 3 4 5 ; do ./tst-cancel2; echo $?; done
| write succeeded
| result is wrong: expected 0xffffffff, got 0x1
| 1							<-- fail
| 0							<-- pass
| 0							<--- pass
| 0							<-- pass
| write succeeded
| result is wrong: expected 0xffffffff, got 0x1
| 1							<-- fail

Same test (which originated form glibc) doesn't fail in glibc builds.
Turns out there's a subtle race in uclibc version

The test creates a new thread, makes it do a looong write call, and
parent then cancels the thread, expecting it to unwind out of write
call cleanly. However the write (even for 10k bytes) could fnish befor
eparent gets a chance ti run and/or cancel - causing the occasional
failire.

Fix this subtelty by making it write not just once but forever.
