[ovs-dev] [PATCH] Wait for daemons to die in init.d script "stop" commands.

Sometimes it takes a moment for the OVS daemons to die.  When that happens,
the "start" half of "openvswitch restart" can fail when ovsdb-tool
runs, because ovsdb-server will still have the lock on the database if it
has not exited yet.  So this commit just makes the "stop" half wait for
the daemons to really die.

Bug #3369.
