There was a problem where we could shutdown before issuing the final backfill. Solve by changing two pieces:

From the backfiller, don't shutdown if there are pending backfill requests. Only check if shutdown was requested if there are no pending backfills
From the orchestrator, don't tell the backfiller to shutdown until after all reindex operations have completed. The ensures that no backfill requests can be added after shutdown is issued.
