After a fatal signal interrupts synchronous FUSE_INIT,
request_wait_answer() aborts the channel and returns immediately. If the
request is in an FR_LOCKED reply-copy interval, fuse_chan_abort() leaves
it for the writer to finish. The synchronous caller can then free the
fuse_init_args that owns the reply destination while the writer is still
copying into it.
Wait for fuse_request_end() after aborting the channel. This keeps the
synchronous caller's reply storage alive until any locked copy has
finished, while preserving the fatal-signal abort behavior.
