in mworker mode used with uid/gid settings, it was not possible to get a coredump despite the set-dumpable option. indeed prctl(2) manual page specifies the dumpable attribute is reverted to `/proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable` in a few conditions such as process effective user and group are changed.
this patch moves the whole set-dumpable logic before the polling code in order to catch all possible cases where we could have changed the uid/gid. It however does not cover the possible segfault at startup. this patch should be backported in 2.0.
