[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 2/2] swtpm: wait for pidfile

[Stefan Reiter <s.reiter@proxmox.com>]

swtpm may take a little bit to daemonize, so the pidfile might not be
available right after run_command. Causes an ugly warning about using an
undefined value in a match, so wait up to 5s for it to appear.

Note that in testing this loop only ever got to the first or second
iteration, so I believe the timeout duration should be more than enough.

Also add a missing 'usleep' import, 'usleep' was used before but never
imported, apparently the other case never got triggered...

Triggered during rollback testing, potentially due to extra load. Didn't cause
any failure (as long as the VM starts fine it's all good), but looks ugly in the
log and may cause lingering instances if QEMU fails afterward.
