Replace error with PANIC for callbacks from JIT-compiled code.

One thing that's not allowed, is to let an FFI call into a C function
|
||||
get JIT-compiled, which in turn calls a callback, calling into Lua again.
|
||||
Usually this attempt is caught by the interpreter first and the
|
||||
C function is blacklisted for compilation.

However, this heuristic may fail under specific circumstances: e.g. a
|
||||
message polling function might not run Lua callbacks right away and the call
|
||||
gets JIT-compiled. If it later happens to call back into Lua, you'll get a
|
||||
VM PANIC with the message <tt>"bad callback"</tt>. Then you'll need to
|
||||
manually turn off JIT-compilation with
|
||||
<a href="ext_jit.html#jit_onoff_func"><tt>jit.off()</tt></a> for the
|
||||
surrounding Lua function that invokes such a message polling function (or
|
||||
similar).
