fix fork of processes with active async io contexts
previously, if a file descriptor had aio operations pending in the parent before fork, attempting to close it in the child would attempt to cancel a thread belonging to the parent. this could deadlock, fail, or crash the whole process of the cancellation signal handler was not yet installed in the parent. in addition, further use of aio from the child could malfunction or deadlock. POSIX specifies that async io operations are not inherited by the child on fork, so clear the entire aio fd map in the child, and take the aio map lock (with signals blocked) across the fork so that the lock is kept in a consistent state.
