From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit e8bf9b98d40dbdf4e39362e3b85a70c61da68cb7 upstream. In the "reboot" command, it does a check of the machine to see if it is still alive with a simple "ssh echo" command. If it fails, it will assume that a normal "ssh reboot" is not possible and force a power cycle. In this case, the "start_monitor" is executed, but the "end_monitor" is not, and this causes the screen will not be given back to the console. That is, after the test, a "reset" command needs to be performed, as "echo" is turned off.
