[pkg-go] Bug#813544: prometheus-node-exporter: cannot run as root

[Anton T]

Package: prometheus-node-exporter
Version: 0.12.0+ds-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

It seems that setting USER=root in /etc/default/prometheus-node-exporter
breaks the init script because HELPER_ARGS is defined before
/etc/default/$NAME is included.

This patch fixes the issue:
