Subject: aio_cancel segmentation fault for in progress write requests

Hi,

I'm experiencing segmentation fault when I invoke aio_cancel on request
which is in EINPROGRESS state. This happens only with libc muls (used
version - 1.1.12-r8) and only on one (dual Intel Xeon Gold 6128) of few
computers I've tried it on - please let me know if you need more
information about that machine. Attached is very simple program
(aioWrite.cpp) that reproduces this problem.

alpine-tmp-0:~$ ./aioWrite
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Bt from gdb shows problem is in aio_cancel.

In other application (which code I cannot share) I was able to get more
detailed trace for main thread, narrowing problem to pthread_kill call.
