>Description:

	For some services I prefer using service_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf
	and start them by other means when needed using "forcestart" feature.

	SVN r206686 and MFC r207797 broke this: now rc.subr at boot time
	starts disabled service if it is already started by other means
	($rc_pid is not empty).

	So, the service sometimes get started twice that's not good for me.

>How-To-Repeat:

	1. Disable any installed service using servicename="NO" in /etc/rc.conf
	2. Run it at boot time by another script (I need service be started
	   or not depending on results of some local tests).
	3. See it's started twice.

>Fix:

	Mentioned change occured to make 'stop' work even if ${name}_enable
	is not set. The code should check whether it's started to 'stop'.

>Unformatted:
