When trying to apply an update, we need to restart b2g. However, if something refuses to quit during that process, the update is never applied and the user's phone is hosed.
It looks like the wifi code in ICS is hanging on shutdown again. That's a bug we should fix, but in the meantime, we should try harder to ensure that those kinds of bugs don't interfere with applying an update. This patch isn't 100% guaranteed to kill of b2g, but it does work for the problematic cases I've seen so far (something spinning an XPCOM event loop waiting for other stuff to finish).
