Change subject: IMPALA-4737: Prevent SIGUSR1 from killing daemons when 
minidumps are disabled
......................................................................


Patch Set 2:

> Should any startup scripts be modified to trap '' SIGUSR1 before
 > launching the daemons since there is still technically a race from
 > daemon startup to when the mini-dump signal handler is registered?
 > (Though from what I can tell the typical usage of the SIGUSR1
 > mini-dump handler would very likely never encounter this race, so
 > maybe not worth fixing?)

Yes, that race exists, I don't think it's worth fixing though. Human operators 
should not hit it. Automated scripts that regularly trigger minidumps sending 
SIGUSR1 could hit this, but I think we should not encourage those anyways. Let 
me know if you feel strongly about this.
