jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does disallow_signal(SIGHUP) around
jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() and the comment says "We don't want
SIGHUP to interrupt us".
But disallow_signal() can't ensure that jffs2_garbage_collect_pass()
won't be interrupted by SIGHUP, the problem is that SIGHUP can be
already pending when disallow_signal() is called, and in this case
any interruptible sleep won't block.
Note: this is in fact because disallow_signal() is buggy and should
be fixed, see the next changes.
But there is another reason why disallow_signal() is wrong: SIG_IGN
set by disallow_signal() silently discards any SIGHUP which can be
sent before the next allow_signal(SIGHUP).
Change this code to use sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK/SIG_BLOCK, SIGHUP).
This even matches the old (and wrong) semantics allow/disallow had
when this logic was written.
