this is needed to ensure async-cancel-safety, i.e. to make it safe to
access TLS objects when async cancellation is enabled. otherwise, if
cancellation were acter upon after the atomic fetch/add but before the
thread saved the obtained memory, another access to the same TLS in
the cancellation handler could end up performing the atomic fetch/add
again, consuming more memory than is actually available and
overflowing into other objects on the heap.
