[PATCH v3 2/2] ntdll: Do not abort the thread if the server pipe is broken.

[Zebediah Figura]

From: Zebediah Figura

Keil UV4 C51 starts a thread and then immediately terminates it, usually while
it's in the middle of an NtClose().

The previous commit prevents the SIGQUIT from killing the thread before it exits
the fd_cache_section mutex. However, the server will still have closed its side
of the socket, resulting in the close_handle server request receiving EPIPE from
write(), or zero from read(), at which point the client calls abort_thread()
anyway, while still holding the mutex.

As far as I can tell, the point of aborting here is to avoid letting a client
process remain forever if the server dies. This is a sensible goal; however, it
cannot always work in theory (a thread which never makes a server call will
never reach this point and will remain anyway) and, speaking from experience, it
almost never works in practice (every time the server dies I have to manually
kill most processes).

In summary, if the server intentionally closes a client thread's socket fd, we
can rely on the accompanying SIGQUIT to kill the client thread, and if the
server dies unexpectedly, the client was most likely going to hang anyway. Since
the abort is not really helping, and is now causing problems, just remove it.
