This is an automated cherry-pick of #5403

/assign cybertron

Previously the SIGTERM that is sent when kubelet shuts down the pod
was being ignored, which caused keepalived to be SIGKILLed and not
able to send the priority 0 message so another node takes the VIP
immediately. This caused ~5 seconds of delay when keepalived and
haproxy were restarted during upgrades, and if this happened on a
node where the local apiserver is also unavailable it causes a
temporary API outage.

There appears to have been two reasons for this:
1) The socat call blocks SIGTERM handling in the bash script
2) Sending SIGTERM to keepalived without waiting for it to complete
   can cause the container to exit before priority 0 is sent

Using the "wait" command seems to make this work as expected. Now
socat is started in the background and wait is used to keep the
script from exiting. A delay is also added to allow keepalived time
to shut down cleanly.

Timeouts are not needed for any of these calls because kubelet will
already send SIGKILL after the grace period expires.
