Description Quentin Thébault 2026-08-31 02:40:02 UTC 
A race condition in the rc.d script makes swtpm fail to restart more often than not.

In `stop_instance()`:
```
kill $pid
rm -f ${pidpath}/${config}.pid
echo "done"
```

This should wait for the PIDs to exit before reporting "done" and exiting. Otherwise the sockets are still opened and the new instances fail to start.
