From: Lukas Straub <lukasstraub2@web.de>

When a send thread encounters an error (as is the case with yank),
it sets multifd_send_state->exiting and the other threads exit too.
This races with multifd_send_sync_main() which now hangs at
qemu_sem_wait(&p->sem_sync) in multifd_send_sync_main() line 647
as it waits for threads that have exited.

Fix this by kicking the semaphores when exiting the send threads.

I encountered this hang when stress testing the colo unit test,
though I was unable to write a migration test to reliably hit this.
