Remove deadlock in rc caused by pwait waiting for itself.
The following situation can trigger the deadlock:
1) Long time ago a_service was started through rc.d
2) We want to restart a_service and issue service a_service restart
3) rc.subr reads current process PID (via file or process),
sends TERM signal and runs pwait with PID harvested
4) a_service process dies very quickly so it's PID becomes available.
It is possible that while original process was running,
PID counter overflowed and pwait got assigned a_service's PID.
This patch ignores pid(s) to wait that are equal to pwait PID.
