[RFC PATCH v3 3/6] hurd: Replace reply port with a dead name on failed interruption

[Sergey Bugaev]

If we're trying to interrupt an interruptible RPC, but the server fails
to respond to our __interrupt_operation () call, we instead destroy the
reply port we were expecting the reply to the RPC on.

Instead of deallocating the name completely, replace it with a dead
name, so the name won't get reused for some other right, and deallocate
it in _hurd_intr_rpc_mach_msg once we return from the signal handler.

This is not required for x86_64, but probably a good idea anyway. I have
checked that this does not fatally break things (this commit has been
sitting in my tree, getting built along with the other changes, for quite
some time without noticably breaking anything), but I have not run the
full testsuite. Please do that on your end.
