LU-2731 scripts: Speed up /etc/init.d/lustre stop

This patch parallelizes the shutdown of multiple services running on the
same node. This has been empirically shown to drastically reduce the
runtime of the script for an OSS with many OSTs.

This patch was tested on a Lustre 2.1 ldiskfs OSS node with 32 OSTs
attached, by recording startup and shutdown times for the OSS. The
number of OSTs used in varied, ranging from a single one, up to all 32,
incrementing by powers of two (i.e. timed startup/shutdown of 1 OST,
then of 2 OSTs, then 4, etc.).

Results of startup and shutdown times *without* this patch applied:
