Subject: [PATCH] libdaemon: ensure threads are reaped before checking shutdown

Since we are checking _shutdown_requested - we expect all threads
are finished - that is currently checked only by checking ->next ptr
being NULL - so this can be NULL only when _reap() function clears
out all already finished threads.

I'm finding this design quite problematic in its core - but as a
'trivial hotfix' - lets _reap() linked list before check for signal.

There is likely a large potentical for few races - but the windows is
very very small - since lvmetad has been already purged from upstream,
lets go with this hotfix.
