Prior to this fix, 'kick' and 'discard' calls may timeout (or
fail for other reason), failures lead to only a log, then
continue to allow the new session to get registered.
As a result, in case a client is stuck, there is no way to
force it to step down, end up with multiple connections (sessions)
for the client ID in dashboard.
After this fix, the stale pids are notified to shutdown
via a gen_server:call, and forced with a exit(Pid, kill) for any
exception happend to the gen_server:call
