qemu-thread: fix races on threads that exit very quickly

If we create a thread with QEMU_THREAD_DETACHED mode, QEMU may get a segfault with low probability.

The backtrace is:

The cause of this problem is a glibc bug; for more information, see
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19951.
The solution for this bug is to use pthread_attr_setdetachstate.

There is a similar issue with pthread_setname_np, which is moved
from creating thread to created thread.
