Hi, Sergey!
Thanks for the patch!
LGTM, with minor comments below.

I suppose we don't need to run the profiler in "C" mode. Let's use "D"
here.

I suppose that 2 last checks are excess. The first one is enough to be
sure that the profiler is started. Also, we may use `assert()` here
instead of `test:is()` check, since we don't want to _test_ the starting of
the profiler only to _assert_ that the sysprof has been started.

I'm not sure that this will always be true (for example, in coverage
workflow). I suggest increasing the interval dramatically to avoid false
positives here.
