[PATCH 2/3] leaseshelper: Wait to acquire PID file
On a DHCP transaction, dnsmasq runs our leases helper which
updates corresponding JSON files. While one dnsmasq won't run the
leaseshelper in parallel, two dnsmasqs (from two distinct
networks) might. To avoid corrupting JSON file, the leaseshelper
acquires PID file first. Well, the way it's acquiring it is not
ideal - it calls virPidFileAcquirePath(wait = false); which
means, that either it acquires the PID file instantly or returns
an error and does not touch the JSON at all. This in turn means
that there might be a leases record missing. With wait = true,
this won't happen.
