Fix hard-to-rigger locking bug in vsyslog():
SIGPIPE handler was attempting to re-acquire an already taken lock. While at it, stop checking for sigaction failure which is not possible here. Sizes: text data bss dec hex filename - 1123 13 2 1138 472 libc/misc/syslog/syslog.o + 1112 13 2 1127 467 libc/misc/syslog/syslog.o Run tested.
