IMHO it's fine because thread_id is only changed at the beginning of
iothread_run where the caller will definitely wait for the thread_id
to be generated.  Here qemu_sem_post() should at least contain one
write memory barrier there to make sure the waker will read the
correct value after sem_wait() and then later on thread_id is never
changed.
