Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1465296

Description of problem:
Bulk tasks are receiving events when their sub-tasks finish. This gets rather slow with large number of sub-tasks. We should take another approach and make the parent task poll the state of its sub-tasks.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Easily triggered by using REX at scale

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a remote execution job on high number (thousands) of hosts
2. Wait until all of its sub-tasks are stopped
3. It may reach into state where all the sub-tasks are stopped but the parent task is still running for another hour or so (depends on numbers of hosts)

Actual results:
Parent task keeps running for hours after its sub-tasks have stopped

Expected results:
The parent task is stopped shortly after its sub-tasks have stopped
