Commit d483970262e32ca7b3a376e538f454d8a1f1ec6d

dbus: Wrap init in a spinlock. This prevents a race if two threads that need d-bus try to init it at the same time. Note that SDL_Init will likely handle this from a single thread at startup, but there are places outside of init where one might trigger D-Bus init, like setting thread priority (a common first thing for a new thread to do) resulting in SDL trying to use RTKit. Fixes #4587.
