When a new master process is launched like below: ./haproxy -W -D -p ha.pid -sf $(cat ha.pid)... The old master process and its workers do not stop. Since the master-worker refactoring, the code, which sends USR1/TERM to old pids from -sf, is called only for the standalone mode. In master-worker mode we should receive the READY message from the newly forked worker at first, in order to be able to terminate the previous master. So, to fix this, let's terminate the previous master in _send_status(), where we parse the READY message from the newly forked worker. And let's continue to use oldpids array, as it was in 3.0, in order to stop the workers, launched before the reload. This patch should be backported only in 3.1.
