pthread_cancel switches to secondary mode if it has to send a signal (if
cancellation is in asynchronous mode, this happens when the target
thread is blocked inside a blocking call). But this should not be a
problem with RPI.
But the problem you should focus on is why the scheduler does not let
pthread_cancel run earlier.
