Block signals during the initial part of dlopen

Lazy binding during dlopen from a signal handler sees intermediate
dynamic linker state.  This has likely been always unsafe, but with
the new pending NODELETE state, this is clearly incorrect.  Other
threads are excluded via the loader lock, but the current thread is
not.  Blocking signals until right before ELF constructors run is
the safe thing to do.
