In multi threaded application, it is possible for one thread to terminate the program while another is flushing profile information. We setup a signal mask to delay SIGKILL so that we can safely flush the profile.

This patch setups the mask earlier: it reduces the window during which a SIGKILL can end the computation prematurely.

This fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1850940, where a profiled firefox was encountering several:

    LLVM Profile Error: Failed to write file "default_*.profraw": Broken pipe
