    Fix race between first rand(3) calls.
    
    Before this patch there was a chance for thread that called rand(3)
    slightly later to see rand3_state already allocated, but not yet
    initialized.  While this API is not expected to be thread-safe, it
    is not expected to crash.  ztest on 64-thread system reproduced it
    reliably for me.
