so we don't leave around a zombie process when the old daemon still
needs to run, because of e.g. a running task.

Since this is mostly a cosmetic issue though, only try a clean up
once, so we don't unnecessarily block or run into other issues here.
(It could happen that it didn't exit at that point, but it's very
unlikely.)

maybe the comment could be improved, but i tried to be not overly
verbose there, since it's not really an issue anyway
