mdev: improve $SEQ handling; improve debug logging

Sequential run of concurrent mdev's was too simplistic:
they waited for /dev/mdev.seq to match. This could sometimes
cause cumulative loss of time on the order of a second.

Added SIGCHLD signaling from exiting mdev to all other mdev's.
Added debugging required to see that code actually works as intended.

Example of /dev/mdev.log (with "woken up" elevated from dbg lvl 3 to 2):
