any point in time. We can always tell which it is by examining the
snapshot_creation_status.

So replace these three variables by the single create_pid variable.

Besides of killing two global variables, this change also fixes a
real bug: If the dss process catches SIGINT or SIGTERM, the old code
would only kill a running rsync process but not the pre-create or
post-create hook. However, the new code kills whatever create process
is currently running, which is the right thing to do.
