There are multiply processes of chef_client_run.sh in client nodes

[Sam Su]

I tried to deploy an openstack cluster with Compass and the progress was hung on the 95%. Ssh to the hanging server n142, checked chef-client process and found multiply processes of chef_client_run.sh.

Here is the result:

We should not allow multiply processes of chef_client_run.sh running in the same time.
