Splunk Universal Forwarder fails to perform Deployment Server setup step randomly.

[vinayk06]

Splunk universal forwarder fails to do Deployment server setup step randomly. as it able to find splunk.version file created and it is assuming configuration is already done and is not setting splunk_deployment_server.

this is occurs randomly and does not have certain prediction. probably due to race condition in the entrypoin.sh script.

This occurs very intermittently.
