[LEDE-DEV] ubus/libubox: SIGTERM/SIGINT signals received during ubus_complete_request() calls are ignored

Hi Felix,

The SIGTERM ignore issue I was experiencing before is no longer
reproducible after I apply your patch.

However, I'm concerned about a possible ignore of SIGTERM signal
received during a ubus_complete_request() call. If ctx->stack_depth is
0, any such signal received between prev_uloop_initialization and the
reset of ulopp_cancelling to false will be ignored. Is this
"uloop_cancelling = false" really necessary?

BTW, I think the reset of uloop_status and uloop_cancelled should be
executed before uloop_setup_signals() like so:
        if (!recursive_calls++) {
               uloop_status = 0;
               uloop_cancelled = false;
               uloop_setup_signals(true);
        }

Cheers,
Alin
