General relativty does not insist that light be measured at a constant speed. Local shell observers always measure light to be c but the bookkeeper (far away observer) of general relativity measures the radial speed of light to be
dr/dt=-(1-2M/r)
The Schwarzchild radius is r=2M (in geometric units). When r->2M then dr/dt -> 0. When r is very far away you get the same result as in special relativity.
