Testing shows that the error is generated because of the
'dofile("/etc/nginx/regex_rules.lua")' line.

I.E., when the regex rules are placed directly in the
access_by_lua_file, a hit on a regex is processed as expected.
When the rules are included using the dofile function, a hit on a
regex results in the "attempt to yield across
> metamethod/C-call boundary" error.
