Fix shutdown sequence to avoid SIGSEGV when running am command

Browse Source 
When the app_process is shutting down the main thread will close the
binder fd while pool threads are executing an ioctl (in
IPCThreadState::stopProcess called by AppRuntime::onStarted in
app_main.c).

The binder driver will then return all pending calls in ioctl
without any error and with a command. One of the threads gets a
BR_SPAWN_LOOPER which will create a new thread (the other thread
gets a BR_NOOP). This new thread then calls
vm->AttachCurrentThread. Usually this results in a log entry with
"AndroidRuntime: NOTE: attach of thread 'Binder Thread #3' failed",
but sometimes it also causes a SIGSEGV. This depends on the timing
between the new thread an the main thread that calls DestroyJavaVM
(in AndroidRuntime::start).

If IPCThreadState.cpp is compiled with "#define LOG_NDEBUG 0" the
pool thread will loop and hit the
ALOG_ASSERT(mProcess->mDriverFD >= 0) in
IPCThreadState::talkWithDriver.

Crashes like this has been seen when running the am command and
other commands that use the app_process.

This fix makes sure that any command that is received when the driver
fd is closed are ignored and IPCThreadState::talkWithDriver instead
returns an error which will cause the pool thread to exit and detach
itself from the vm. A check to avoid calling ioctl to a fd with -1
was also added in IPCThreadState::threadDestructor.

Another solution might be to change the binder driver so that it
returns an error when the fd is closed (or atleast not a
BR_SPAWN_LOOPER command). It might also be possible to call exit(0)
which is done when System.exit(0) is called from java.
