From: Irene Park <ipark@nvidia.com>

AutoGen manager/workers halt the progress when an error occurs but doesn't propagate the error code to main and makes main sys.exit(0) and gets the build system unable to catch the occurrence of an error.
This change informs main with an error when a progress is halted and helps main sys.exit(1).
