      Description

      Follow-on to SERVER-10623, which we apparently didn't completely resolve.

      I'm still having a related issue to this in 2.5.4. Also running on an OVH kernel that /sys/devices/system/node is not readable/executable. On startup, the fatal message is logged:

      exception in initAndListen std::exception: boost::filesystem::status:
      		 
      Permission denied: "/sys/devices/system/node/node1", terminating

      While the fix solved processinfo_linux2.cpp's reading of /sys/devices/system/node/node1, there's another attempt to read it inside of startup_warnings.cpp that isn't wrapped with a try/catch.

      The function boost::filesystem::exists(boost::filesystem::path) throws an exception if some component of the path is not accessible by the executing user.
