Set LUA_MASKCOUNT hook more selectively. Fixes issue #480.
An user reported a crash with Redis scripting (see issue #480 on github), inspection of the kindly provided strack trace showed that server.lua_caller was probably set to NULL. The stack trace also slowed that the call to the hook was originating from a point where we just used to set/get a few global variables in the Lua state. What was happening is that we did not set the timeout hook selectively only when the user script was called. Now we set it more selectively, specifically only in the context of the lua_pcall() call, and make sure to remove the hook when the call returns. Otherwise the hook can get called in random contexts every time we do something with the Lua state.
