From: Christian Gagneraud <chris at techworks.ie>

gr-osmosdr uses the driver in a multi-thread context, as a side effect the
cancel_async() can be called before read_async(), in such a case the cancel is
"forgotten".  This patch fixed that by being a bit more relaxed with
state machine transitions.
This patch doesn't fix any race conditions, it just make an anoying one less
likely to happen.

This patch goes along this one [1]
