[PATCH] Cygwin: console, pty: Fix segfault in child_info_spawn::worker().

- After the commit "Cygwin: pty, console: Fix handle leak which
  occurs on exec() error.", startxwin cannot start X due to the
  error "Failed to activate virtual core keyboard: 2". The problem
  is access violation in the code retrieving the pgid of the ctty.
  This patch fixes the issue.
