Subject: [PATCH 355/355] core: Prevent crash on process termination
A previous patch (ce61da816a) has fixed a use-after-free issue,
but it doesn't work well when the final cleanup is done at process
termination because gluster doesn't stop other threads before
calling exit().
For this reason, the final cleanup is removed to avoid the crash,
at least until the termination sequence properly stops all gluster
threads before exiting the program.
