Having multiple children isn't a problem. All of the children will be in
the shutdown loop before the parent, and as each of them is seen, the
parent's shutdown_after will be updated with the cookie of the latest
child to be shut down. When the parent then does a synchronize_cookie to
wait for that last child, it won't continue until the earlier children have
also shutdown, because synchronize_cookie doesn't just wait for that one
cookie--it waits until the specified cookie is the lowest cookie in
progress, which means all the earlier children are also done shutting down.
