cherry-pick two patches which ensure that dmeventd gets always
stopped when requested (i.e. if exiting is not ok at the moment it
gets scheduled for the next possible moment and not thrown away) and
which also ensures that it gets stopped more safely on shutdown.
This addresses a issue where when LVM(thin) was used on a host
shutdown could hang need 90 seconds longer, seemingly hanging for
this time as without debug log active no message got shown.

+Subject: [PATCH] dmeventd: schedule exit on break
+
+When dmeventd receives SIGTERM/INT/HUP/QUIT it validates if exit is possible.
+If there was any device still monitored, such exit request used to
+be ignored/refused. This 'usually' worked reasonably well, however if there
+is very short time period between last device is unmonitored and signal
+reception - there was possibility such EXIT was ignored, as dmeventd has
+not yet got into idle state even commands like 'vgchange -an' has already
+finished.
+
+This patch changes logic towards scheduling EXIT to the nearest
+point when there is no monitored device.
+
+EXIT is never forgotten.
+
+NOTE: if there is only a single monitored device and someone sends
+SIGTERM and later someone uses i.e. 'lvchange --refresh' after
+unmonitoring dmeventd will exit and new instance needs to be
+started.

+Subject: [PATCH] dmeventd: ensure systemd service gets stopped on shutdown
+
+Add these for dmeventd systemd unit (dm-event.service):
+
+ Before: shutdown.target
+ Conflicts: shutdown.target
+
+This will cause the dmeventd to be properly stopped at shutdown (after
+all the dmeventd clients unregistered their devices from monitoring)
+with dm-event.service's stop action (there's no direct action defined
+for the "stop" so systemd sends SIGTERM instead).
+
+Before, we let dmeventd to get killed only as part of the very last
+SIGTERM/SIGKILL for all the remaining processes late in the shutdown
+sequence so we may have missed some logs if dmeventd encountered an
+error during its shutdown (logging facilities are already off at this
+late time in shutdown sequence).
