perf trace: Fix race in signal handling
Since a lot of stuff happens before the SIGINT signal handler is registered
(scanning /proc/*, etc.), on bigger systems, such as Cavium Sabre CN99xx,
it may happen that first interrupt signal is lost and perf isn't correctly
terminated.
The reproduction code might look like the following:
perf trace -a &
PERF_PID=$!
sleep 4
kill -INT $PERF_PID
The issue has been found on a CN99xx machine with RHEL-8 and the patch fixes
it by registering the signal handlers earlier in the init stage.
