Log message:
	Synchronize with self-destruction of dmeventd
	
	In some occasional case dmevent restart was experiencing problems
	with obtaining pid lockfile. So this patch tries to send several more kill
	message until daemon kills itself so there is would reponse.
	With this small loop the restart seems to work reliable,
	although the loopsize and usleep are just randomly picked for now.
