pid file cannot be generated without dhclient prefix

Hi,

After recent upgrade (4.2.4->4.3.3), I found out the -pf didn't work if the pid file has no prefix of dhclient. I wonder if it is a design change or sth. else. I spent some time studying the source code but couldn't find any check on it.

Ex:
With dhclient prefix:
[root@node-cmp-test-kubecluster-2-0a03c326:/home/lidali]# dhclient -q -lf /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient4-ns-12:31:ec:27:b1:d6.leases -pf /var/run/dhclient4-123.pid eth0
[root@node-cmp-test-kubecluster-2-0a03c326:/home/lidali]# ls /var/run/dh*
dhclient4-123.pid

Without dhclient prefix
[root@node-cmp-test-kubecluster-2-0a03c326:/home/lidali]# dhclient -v -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclientabc.leases -pf /var/run/4-123.pid eth0

However, this does happen on my old host:
4.14.13-01 #1 SMP 14.04.5-Ubuntu Wed Jan 10 21:53:40 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any ideas?

Thanks

Lida
