When the zed is started as a forking daemon (by default),
a race-condition exists where the parent process can terminate before
the pidfile has been created by the grandchild process. When invoked
as a Type=forking systemd service, this can result in the following:
systemd[1]: Starting ZFS Event Daemon (zed)...
systemd[1]: PID file /var/run/zed.pid not readable (yet?) after start.
This commit adds a daemonize pipe to allow the grandchild process to
signal the parent process that initialization is complete (and the
pidfile has been created). The parent process will wait for this
notification before exiting.
