[arch-projects] [initscripts] [PATCH 13/13] functions: Speed up reboot/shutdown by recognizing killall5 exit code 2

[Kurt J. Bosch]

killall5 returns 2 if it didn't find any processes to send to. Using this avoids sleeping longer than needed. This saves another up to six seconds of reboot/shutdown/go-single time.
