keventd: drop SIGCHLD save/restore dance, libuev reaps for us

modprobe_load() and run_program() used to temporarily restore the
default SIGCHLD handler around fork+waitpid because the main loop set
SIGCHLD=SIG_IGN.  With the libuev conversion, sigchld_cb in keventd.c
handles reaping via signalfd -- and signalfd does not interfere with
synchronous waitpid(pid, ...) -- so the dance is dead code.
