commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=507caef3ddf5ab7d933e14303508db057c4b9501
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Restarting dnsmasq can cause constant issues: stop works, but start
fails because the new instance can't bind the socket. Another restart
immediately after works just fine:

    # /etc/init.d/S80dnsmasq restart
    Stopping dnsmasq: OK
    Starting dnsmasq:
    dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.128.1: Address in use
    FAIL
    # /etc/init.d/S80dnsmasq restart
    Stopping dnsmasq: FAIL
    Starting dnsmasq: OK

Solve this by waiting for process to actually stop before returning
from the stop command. Clean up the PID file after to avoid potential
issues with the PID being reused after stop. The wait could also be
placed inside the restart block, but putting it into the stop block
has the advantage that it also avoids similar issues for any other
callers.
