  #672177 libc6 upgrade causes umount to fail on shutdown because init cannot be restarted

Now that the libc6 version that cancels the telinit u has been accepted into natty, I'm proposing merging this in.

This will cause upstart to re-exec itself on 'telinit u', which sends a SIGTERM sent to pid 1.

This code was dropped for unknown reasons (possibly just by mistake of package importing into bzr) and will solve the issue of / not being able to be remounted read-only during the shutdown process.
