Improve XendCheckpoint's forkHelper error handling.

When inputHandler raises an exception, close stdin and stdout in the
child before attempting to close stderr, which is held open by a
separate thread. Without this patch, exceptions raised by device
migration caused xend to hang on child.childerr.close().
