[PATCH 12/19] UML - Fix exitcall ordering bug

[Jeff Dike]

This fixes an exitcall ordering bug - calls to ignore_sigio_fd can
come from exitcalls that come after the sigio thread has been killed.
This would cause shutdown to hang or crash.

Fixed by having ignore_sigio_fd check that the thread is present
before trying to communicate with it.
