conntrackd: fix deadlock due to wrong nested signal blocking
The existing code may nest several signal blocking and unblocking calls in different paths of the code. This may result in deadlocks while receiving signals. This patch simplifies the signal blocking approach. Now signals are blocked in three paths: 1) Internal timers handling, while running timer callback for expired timers. 2) File descriptor handling, while running file descriptor callbacks. 3) While handling signals, to avoid that SIGINT and SIGTERM in a row results in a deadlock. Thanks a lot to Ulrich Weber <ulrich.weber@sophos.com> for discussing a fix for this problem. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
