uml: definitively kill subprocesses on panic



In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest (2.6.22.6 running
in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux.  I think the reason is the kernel
thread abort because of a bug.  Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode
linux guest is not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by
host.  I think it is better to make sure all of our children process to quit
when user mode linux kernel abort.

[ jdike - the kernel process needs to ignore SIGTERM, plus the waitpid/kill
loop is needed to make sure that all of our children are dead before the
kernel exits ]
