Bug description:
[Impact]
Due to a logic bug LightDM returning to an existing session from a greeter
can be unreliable. This case is common in systems which use the greeter as a
lock screen.
The bug was introduced in revision 1954 to fix bug 1296276. The race
condition seems to have been made more likely to the change in
revision 2437 to fix bug 1637758.
[Test Case]
1. Log into a session
2. Switch to the greeter (e.g. dm-tool switch-to-greeter)
3. Log in again
Expected result
Returned to existing session
Observed result
Not always returned, can end up on blank screen. Since this is a race
condition this may not occur on some systems.
[Regression Potential]
Low, the fix is to correct a logic bug that made LightDM think it hadn't
stopped a session correctly.
