Bug description:
  If the process launcher gets a SIGTERM signal, it calls _sigterm() to
  handle it. This function calls SignalHandler() singleton to get the
  instance of SignalHandler. This singleton acquires a lock to ensure
  that the singleton is unique.

  Problem arises when the process launcher gets a second SIGTERM while
  the singleton lock (called 'singleton_lock') is locked. _sigterm() is
  called again (reentrant call!), but we enter a dead lock. If eventlet
  is used, eventlet fails on an assertion error: "Cannot switch to
  MAINLOOP from MAINLOOP".

  The bug can occurs with SIGTERM and SIGHUP signals.

  I saw this issue with OpenStack services managed by systemd with a
  wrong configuration: SIGTERM is sent to all processes of the cgroups,
  instead of only sending the SIGTERM signal to the "main" process
  ("Main PID" in systemd). When the process launcher gets a SIGTERM, it
  sends a new SIGTERM signal to each child process. If systemd already
  sent a first SIGTERM to child processes, they now get two SIGTERM
  "shortly".

  For OpenStack services managed by systemd, the service file must
  contain "KillMode=process" to only send SIGTERM to the main process
  ("Main PID").
