When doing live migration with multifd channels 8, 16 or larger number,
the guest hangs in the presence of the network errors such as missing TCP ACKs.

At sender's side:
The main thread is blocked on qemu_thread_join, migration_fd_cleanup
is called because one thread fails on qio_channel_write_all when
the network problem happens and other send threads are blocked on sendmsg.
They could not be terminated. So the main thread is blocked on qemu_thread_join
to wait for the threads terminated.

To make sure that the send threads could be terminated, IO channels should be
shut down to avoid waiting IO.
