virthread: Make sure virOnce() returns -1 on error

Since its introduction in v0.9.1~65 the virOnce() was expected to
follow the usual retval logic (0 for success, a negative number
for failure). However, that was never the case.

On the other hand, looking into glibc and musl the pthread_once()
never returns anything other than zero (uclibc-ng seems to not
implement pthread_once()), therefore we never really hit any
problem. But for code cleanliness (and to match POSIX
documentation), let's change to code so that our retval logic is
honoured.
