ridiculousfish 338d587f2a Correct bug causing early teardown of fd_monitor
fd_monitor is used when an external command pipes into a buffer, e.g. for
command substitutions. It monitors the read end of the external command's
pipe in the background, and fills the buffer as data arrives. fd_monitor is
multiplexed, so multiple buffers can be monitored at once by a single
thread.

It may happen that there's no active buffer fill; in this case fd_monitor
wants to keep its thread alive for a little bit in case a new one arrives.
This is useful for e.g. handling loops where you run the same command
multiple times.

However there was a bug due to a refactoring which caused fd_monitor to
exit too aggressively. This didn't affect correctness but it meant more
thread creation and teardown.

Fix this; this improves the aliases.fish benchmark by about 20 msec.

No need to changelog this IMO.
