Steps:
1. Download the poky source and build a qemux86-64 lsb image
2. When reboot the system, some kill processes would print the following message:
######################
pidof: invalid options on command line!
######################

In /etc/init.d/functions.lsbinitscripts, the killproc function uses pidof command to get the pid. But pidof from sysvinit package doesn't support -m option.

Invoke reboot is not easy to trace the result, invoke status also could
verify this issue.

Test Case:

*On host: build core-image-lsb

*On target:
~# . /etc/init.d/functions
~# status sshd
sshd (pid  670) is running...
