In f96d30c2b5
we introduced the maintenance service, which is an additional
instance of auth::service. But this service has a somewhat
confusing 2-level startup mechanism: it's initialized with
sharded<Service>::start and then auth::service::start
(different method with the same name to confuse even more).
When maintenance_socket was disabled (default setting), the code
did only the first part of the startup. This registered a config
observer but didn't create a permission_cache instance.
As a result, a crash on SIGHUP when config is reloaded can occur.
