Bug #6433: rb_thread_blocking_region(): ubf() function is executed with GVL

thread.c says:

------------------------
 *   If another thread interrupts this thread (Thread#kill, signal delivery,
 *   VM-shutdown request, and so on), `ubf()' is called (`ubf()' means
 *   "un-blocking function").  `ubf()' should interrupt `func()' execution.

 *   NOTE: You can not execute most of Ruby C API and touch Ruby
 *         objects in `func()' and `ubf()', including raising an
 *         exception, because current thread doesn't acquire GVL
 *         (cause synchronization problem).

VALUE
rb_thread_blocking_region(
   rb_blocking_function_t *func, void *data1,
   rb_unblock_function_t *ubf, void *data2)

--------------------------


I've created my ubf() function which is called when the Ruby thread in which rb_thread_blocking_region() was called is killed or interrupted. Within my ubf() function I expect not to have the GVL (as the doc says) and I need to run Ruby code, so I use:

  rb_thread_call_with_gvl(terminate_my_C_reactor_with_gvl, NULL);

and I get an error:

 [BUG] rb_thread_call_with_gvl: called by a thread which has GVL.

So... is ubf() called with the GVL or not??
