Seems like there is eventually no test expecting the cancellation to happen:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&collapsedPushes=682858%2C682846%2C682608%2C682564%2C689301%2C689322%2C700450&revision=19ee1c1eddb9b6bee03cdefdd6715a8fc3629979

Note that this is actually untestable because the channel cancellation is kinda racy anyway.

This diverts from the current implementation in nsPrefetchService which cancels the channel when all <link preload> tags are removed and when the tag updates.

This will make few things simpler. Specifically, will get rid of bug 1635417 and it's possible variants with other resource types. Other reason is we can then easily coalesce CSS preloads just inside the CSS loader, using it's existing coalescing logic, because it already coalesces CSS regular (and speculative) loads and no longer need to have two coalescing approaches that would need synchronization.
