This patch does two different things; one of which I think I understand.

The 'quit' has been removed - I think that makes sense because the
multifd threads terminate when either they come to the end of a stream
or hit an error; there's no case of asking them to quit explicitly.
The 'sem' was basically for kicking the recv-thread to quit; which again
isn't needed.

Now, what about the object_unref on p->c ?
If I've got this right multifd_recv_terminate_threads is only called in
the error case; but doesn't multifd_load_cleanup also get called in that
case - it does the unref and p->c = NULL as well.
