[PATCH] uml: fix exitcall ordering bug
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.
