[SRU] Light-locker-settings crash on startup

[Jani Alinikula]

[Impact]

Getting this fix in Xenial would allow for the user to use light-locker-settings again, without this fix, light-locker-settings is unusable.

[Test Case]

Open a terminal and type the following:

$ light-locker-settings

If the bug is fixed, light-locker-settings should launch normally.

[Regression Potential]

The regression potential is low because it's a trivial fix that upstream has already adopted.

[Original bug description]

I installed Xubuntu 16.04 as a new installation, and light-locker-settings cannot be opened. Starting from command line I get a following backtrace:

/usr/share/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings.py:29: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import Gtk, GLib, Gio
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings.py", line 697, in <module>
    main = LightLockerSettings()
  File "/usr/share/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings.py", line 98, in __init__
    self.init_settings()
  File "/usr/share/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings.py", line 454, in init_settings
    if self.check_running_process("xfce4-power-manager"):
  File "/usr/share/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings/light-locker-settings.py", line 219, in check_running_process
    for pid in psutil.get_pid_list():
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_pid_list'

There is a similar backtrace in #1323807, but the original case seems different.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Johnathan Jenkins (twodopeshaggy)]

Upstream psutil had some changes, the fix for this is fairly simple.

Line 219 and 234 need to be changed from psutil.get_pid_list() to psutil.pids()
