vlib: leave SIGPROF signal with its default handler

When profiling VPP with MAP (a software profile suite on Arm CPUs, see details in
https://www.arm.com/products/development-tools/server-and-hpc/forge/map) on Arm
servers, VPP will receive SIGPROF signal because MAP uses SIGPROF signal to drive
its sampler to do profiling on VPP. However, the default action of SIGPROF signal
handler in VPP such as unix_signal_handler() is process termination. To profile
VPP with MAP, the SIGPROF handler should be left as default, and MAP sampler will
overwrite it with its own implementation.
