fix bugs in cancellable syscall asm

x86_64 was just plain wrong in the cancel-flag-already-set path, and
crashing.

the more subtle error was not clearing the saved stack pointer before
returning to c code. this could result in the signal handler
misidentifying c code as the pre-syscall part of the asm, and acting
on cancellation at the wrong time, and thus resource leak race
conditions.

also, now __cancel (in the c code) is responsible for clearing the
saved sp in the already-cancelled branch. this means we have to use
call rather than jmp to ensure the stack pointer in the c will never
match what the asm saved.
