Low: libservices (sync): ensure no zombie is left behind
    
    It could happen because this parent that is to wait for its
    not-well-behaved child is knowlingly not blocking any signal (beside
    SIGCHLD explicitly in case of using signalfd facility) and delivery of
    such signal can interrupt waitpid, at least on paper, so protect
    against this accordingly.
    
    Speaking of SIGCHLD in plain self-pipe (not signalfd one) context, while
    there's no clash with other synchronous actions, it may be the case with
    asynchronous ones (or for that matter, arbitrary other fork-related
    activities in the main program a library can have no idea about), and
    this is exactly what could interrupt waitpid for real.
