[openstack-dev] profiling - eg neutron-vpn-agent

I've found that the issue is that if you interrupt with ctrl-C it won't
write the profile. However, sending it a SIGTERM with the 'kill' command
did the trick when I was using cprofile. I think oslo service calls os.exit
right on SIGINT so the profiler doesn't get a chance to write out.
