What is this cancel for?
This branch is taken upon yielding the timeslice, but we may not submit
a new pair of contexts, leaving the timer active (and marked as
expired). Since the timer remains expired, we will continuously looped
until a context switch, or some other preemption event.
Sorry I was looking at the cancel_timer in process_csb and ended up
replying at the wrong spot. The situation there seems to be removing the
single timeslice related call (set_timeslice) and adding a cancel_timer
which is also not obvious to me what it is about.

Tvrtko
