    Cygwin: setjmp/longjmp: drop setting spinning flag
    
    Per the comment in _cygtls::interrupt_now(), the spinning flag
    is supposed to guard that the targeted thread is about to enter
    the Cygwin DLL.  Setting spinning has then been added to _sigfe,
    _sigbe, sigdelayed and stabilize_sig_stack, the latter being called
    from setjmp/longjmp.
    
    However, setjmp/longjmp only enter the DLL in case of a pending
    signal, calling _cygtls::call_signal_handler(). This in turn is
    already guarded by setting the incyg flag, and there's no other
    action in stabilize_sig_stack which might interfere with the
    signal setup.  All the rest of setjmp/longjmp is plain userspace.
    
    Therefore, drop setting the spinning flag from stabilize_sig_stack,
    because it results in dropped signals in tight longjmp loops.
