    [SPARK-18280][Core]Fix potential deadlock in 
`StandaloneSchedulerBackend.dead`

    ## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
    
    "StandaloneSchedulerBackend.dead" is called in a RPC thread, so it should 
not call "SparkContext.stop" in the same thread. "SparkContext.stop" will block 
until all RPC threads exit, if it's called inside a RPC thread, it will be 
dead-lock.
    
    This PR launches a new thread to stop SparkContext to fix the deadlock.
    
    ## How was this patch tested?
    
    Jenkins
