In RHEL 7, performing a restart of the network service takes five (5) minutes and results in the network.service in a failed state

Solution Verified - Updated 2018-10-31T09:32:05+00:00 -

Issue

On a RHEL 7 host, doing a network service restart or systemctl restart network.service fails after a five minute timeout. This issue seems to only appear when NetworkManager is running.
During the five minute delay, the system seems to be stuck running the pidof -x dhclient process.

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
NetworkManager
legacy network service scripts (initscripts package)
