[PATCH] Cygwin: Fix the address of myself


From: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>

Introducing an independent Cygwin PID introduced a regression:

The expectation is that the myself pinfo pointer always points to a
specific address right in front of the loaded Cygwin DLL.

However, commit b5e1003722cb14235c4f166be72c09acdffc62ea "Cygwin:
processes: use dedicated Cygwin PID rather than Windows PID" and commit
88605243a19bbc2b6b9be36b99f513140b972e38 "Cygwin: fix child getting
another pid after spawnve" broke this.  To get myself at the right
address requires to call init with h0 set to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE or an
existing address:

void
pinfo::init (pid_t n, DWORD flag, HANDLE h0)
{
  [...]
  if (!h0 || myself.h)
    [...]
  else
    {
      shloc = SH_MYSELF;
      if (h0 == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)       <-- !!!
        h0 = NULL;
    }

That was not the case anymore after the above commits.  This patch makes
sure to set the handle to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE again when creating a new
process, so init knows that myself has to be created in the right spot.

While at it, fix a potential uninitialized handle value in
child_info_spawn::handle_spawn.
