conmon: Respect start-pipe read errors

by catching and exiting on any read errors.  A read error here would
be because the caller died before writing to the start pipe, and we
don't want to continue in those cases because it would reopen the
cgroup race discussed in af4fbcd9 (conmon: Don't leave zombies and fix
cgroup race, 2017-06-09, #583).  af4fbcd9 is where this line
originally landed, and it didn't have error checking then.
