Check spawn_func() return value
If we don't, we can wind up with a wedged cpuworker, and write to it for ages and ages. Found by skruffy. This was a bug in 2dda97e8fd898757, a.k.a. svn revision 402. It's been there since we have been using cpuworkers.

+ o Minor bugfixes:
+ - Check return code on spawn_func() in cpuworker code, so that we don't
+ think we've spawned a nonworking cpuworker and write junk to it
+ forever. Fix for bug 4345; bugfix on all released Tor versions.
+ Found by "skruffy".
