The expected usage is:
esp_pthread_set_cfg(cfg);
pthread_create()
If the inherit flag is set, then all subsequent threads forked by this
thread will also inherit this configuration. This avoids having to
change/prefix this for each and every pthread_create() call.
Earlier recursive mutex was being used for this but since
SCOMPARE1 is already being saved/restored during context
switch, atomic compare and set can be used for this.

The mutex is common across all the threads. It needn't be held across
the init_routine() call as long as the 'once' behaviour is guaranteed
Saw a deadlock case, where init_routine of one thread was waiting for
the completion of init_routine in another thread.
t2: wait for command
t1: pthread_once:
lock once_mux
init_routine:
inform thread t2
wait for signal from t2
t2: received command
pthread_once
lock once_mux (already held by t1)
---- Deadlock ----
