ggml-vulkan: serialize racy vk_instance initialization

[d-e-s-o]

When calling whisper_init_from_file_with_params_no_state() from multiple threads with the Vulkan backend enabled, segfaults abound. The problem seems to be that vk_instance initialization is not serialized properly. Introduce a mutex to fix the problem. It needs to be recursive because of the following call chain:

  ggml_vk_get_device()
  -> ggml_backend_vk_reg()
  -> ggml_vk_instance_init()

Thanks for reporting. Could you provide a minimal example of how you use libwhisper in order to trigger this race condition? Ideally a self-contained program that reproduces the segfault.

I am using it via the whisper-rs Rust bindings, so that's all I can offer.
