DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2

This involves loads using file_transfer_cmd causing db2vend 
process to become defunct as follows: 
 
1. We don't wait for completion of userexit in db2vend (we don't 
call wait nor waitpid after fork and exec in sqloexecs). 
2. Neither set its SA_NOCLDWAIT flag nor set SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN 
as the result of resetting SIGCHLD to default with FILE TRANSFER 
COMMAND option in db2load utility.

By using LOGARCHMETH1 TSM setting, we no longer call userexit as 
a child process of db2vend process, so the first condition will 
be no longer satisfied. Hence, the problem will be resolved.
