fixes crash on NetBSD

commit 5bf627c977f7 introduced recursion_guard which is by default set
to -1 of CRYPTO_THREAD_ID type. NetBSD pthread_equal dereferences
pthread_t in order to check t1->pt_magic == PT_MAGIC. Setting to -1
is not wise, it's better to set it to 0. Dereferencing of the
pthread_t happens only if t1/t2 are not NULL.

NetBSD defines pthread_equal:

int
pthread_equal(pthread_t t1, pthread_t t2)
{
...
pthread__error(0, "Invalid thread",
(t1 != NULL) && (t1->pt_magic == PT_MAGIC));
...
/* Nothing special here. */
return (t1 == t2);
}

The problem only occurs only when ossl is compiled with threads on NetBSD.

Fixes #29828
Fixes: 5bf627c977f7 ("ensure destructor key is created prior to any other thread specific key")
