[dm-devel] [PATCH RESEND 3/3] multipathd: protect all access to running_state

Chonyun Wu's latest patch has shown that the handling of the daemon
state variable running_state is racy and difficult to get right. It's
not a good candidate for a "benign race" annotation. So, as a first
step to sanitizing it, make sure all accesses to the state variable
are protected by config_lock.

The patch also replaces "if" with "while" in several places where the
code was supposed to wait until a certain state was reached. It's
important that DAEMON_SHUTDOWN terminates all loops of this kind.
