hurd: Fix longjmp from signal handler


Hello,

The patch below fixes a corner case of signals: when longjumping from a
signal handler, the code currently restores the reply port used by the
main code.  But since we possibly longjmp over a pending RPC, we should
rather just kill that reply port, which will thus get recreated on next
RPC.  Otherwise, the next RPC will try to use it and probably receive a
message that was for the interrupted RPC, and thus produce a -301 error
(EMIG_REPLY_MISMATCH)... For instance, the testcase below always show
that mach_port_destroy returns a -301 error: it actually gets the reply
message of the raise call itself...

Roland, do you agree on this?
