This reverts commit 04ea0bb.

Ever since this commit was merged, tests have been (quietly) failing in CI. You can see this in any of the CI jobs since April 7th, for instance in https://ci.ros2.org/view/nightly/job/nightly_linux_release/3068/:

What that should look like (and does after this revert) is:

I'm not sure of this, but I think the problem is that when this is being destroyed, you can't assume that all of the lower-level things have not yet been destroyed, so you shouldn't actually transition. If that is something we expect to be able to do, then we probably need to take some weak or shared pointers to the infrastructure we need so it isn't destroyed.

Regardless, we don't have that in place right now, so we should revert this change. @fujitatomoya @alsora @Barry-Xu-2018 FYI (we should probably revert this from jazzy, iron and humble as well).
