[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH] lua: handle fiber cancellation for fiber.cond

[Oleg Babin]

Hi! Thanks for the patch!

The main reason I didn't send this patch is inconsistency between Lua 
and C API.

To eliminate such inconsistency [1] was implemented. Unfortunately some 
test fails and I've failed to find root of the problem.

However I still believe that the problem should be solved at "core" level.

Anyway, it would be great if some solution will be pushed to upstream.
