runtime: don't clear gcscanvalid in casfrom_Gscanstatus
Currently we clear gcscanvalid in both casgstatus and casfrom_Gscanstatus if the new status is _Grunning. This is very important to do in casgstatus. However, this is potentially wrong in casfrom_Gscanstatus because in this case the caller doesn't own gp and hence the write is racy. Unlike the other _Gscan statuses, during _Gscanrunning, the G is still running. This does not indicate that it's transitioning into a running state. The scan simply hasn't happened yet, so it's neither valid nor invalid. Conveniently, this also means clearing gcscanvalid is unnecessary in this case because the G was already in _Grunning, so we can simply remove this code. What will happen instead is that the G will be preempted to scan itself, that scan will set gcscanvalid to true, and then the G will return to _Grunning via casgstatus, clearing gcscanvalid. This fix will become necessary shortly when we start keeping track of the set of G's with dirty stacks, since it will no longer be idempotent to simply set gcscanvalid to false.
