[erlang-patches] fix process leak in ssh_system_sup (dynamicaly created childs where not cleaned up)

[Attila Rajmund Nohl]

Hello!

The sub_subsystem function looks like this in the R14B sources:

stop_subsystem(SystemSup, SubSys) ->
    case lists:keyfind(SubSys, 2, supervisor:which_children(SystemSup)) of
        false ->
            {error, not_found};
        {Id, _, _, _} ->
            spawn(fun() -> supervisor:terminate_child(SystemSup, Id),
                           supervisor:delete_child(SystemSup, Id) end),
            ok;
        {'EXIT', {noproc, _}} ->
            %% Already terminated; probably shutting down.
            ok;
        {'EXIT', {shutdown, _}} ->
            %% Already shutting down.
            ok
    end.

I think a catch is missing from the case...
