  lib: Remove extra API dependency for ovs_thread_create()

When calling ovs_thread_create() without calling fatal_signal_init()
first, ovs_thread_create() some times asserts. This dependency is
subtle and not very obvious.

The root cause seems to be that, within ovs_thread_create(), the
multi-threaded state is declared before all initializations are done.
