Fix IBD finish detection (stop Bitcoind restarting)

See original GitHub issue

Version 1.7.1 I noticed after the IBD reaching 100.00% that bitcoind seems to be restarting continuously, see debug excerpt below:

*** LAST BLOCKCHAIN (MAINNET) ERROR LOGS ***
sudo journalctl -u bitcoind -b --no-pager -n8
-- Logs begin at Tue 2021-10-26 11:47:39 BST, end at Tue 2021-10-26 11:57:03 BST. --

The status screen switches between showing blockchain progress (100.00%) and showing the number of restarts. What could cause bitcoind to continuously restart at this point?
