telnetd: Fix deadlock on cleanup

Browse Source 
The cleanup function in telnetd is called both directly and on SIGCHLD signals.
This triggered a deadlock in glibc and was reproduced in glibc 2.27 while
running on a 4.14.30 kernel.

Subject: [PATCH] telnetd: Fix deadlock on cleanup
The cleanup function in telnetd is called both directly and on SIGCHLD
signals. This, unfortunately, triggered a deadlock in eglibc 2.9 while
running on a 2.6.31.11 kernel.
What we were seeing is hangs like these:
(gdb) bt
#0 0xb7702424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1 0xb7658e61 in __lll_lock_wait_private () from ./lib/libc.so.6
#2 0xb767e7b5 in _L_lock_15 () from ./lib/libc.so.6
#3 0xb767e6e0 in utmpname () from ./lib/libc.so.6
#4 0xb76bcde7 in logout () from ./lib/libutil.so.1
#5 0x0804c827 in cleanup ()
#6 <signal handler called>
#7 0xb7702424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#8 0xb7641003 in __fcntl_nocancel () from ./lib/libc.so.6
#9 0xb767e0c3 in getutline_r_file () from ./lib/libc.so.6
#10 0xb767d675 in getutline_r () from ./lib/libc.so.6
#11 0xb76bce42 in logout () from ./lib/libutil.so.1
#12 0x0804c827 in cleanup ()
#13 0x0804a0b5 in telnet ()
#14 0x0804a9c3 in main ()
and what has happened here is that the user closes the telnet session
via the escape character. This causes telnetd to call cleanup in frame
the SIGCHLD signal is delivered while telnetd is executing cleanup.
Telnetd then calls the signal handler for SIGCHLD, which is cleanup().
Ouch. The actual deadlock is in libc. getutline_r in frame #10 gets the
__libc_utmp_lock lock, and utmpname above does the same thing in frame
The fix registers the SIGCHLD handler as cleanup_sighandler, and makes
cleanup disable the SIGCHLD signal before calling cleanup_sighandler.

The patch was imported from the Ubuntu netkit-telnet package.

A previous patch declaring attributes of functions, but it is not used
in upstream.
