signals: jffs2: fix the wrong usage of disallow_signal()
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.
