[PATCH 4/7] hurd: Make _exit work during early boot-up

[Sergey Bugaev]

If any of the early boot-up tasks calls exit () or returns from main (),
terminate it properly instead of crashing on trying to dereference
_hurd_ports and getting forcibly terminated by the kernel.

We sadly cannot make the __USEPORT macro do the check for _hurd_ports
being unset, because it evaluates to the value of the expression
provided as the second argument, and that can be of any type; so there
is no single suitable fallback value for the macro to evaluate to in
case _hurd_ports is unset. Instead, each use site that wants to care for
this case will have to do its own checking.

Checked on x86_64-gnu.
