Nope. svn_atomic__init_once only begins using the svn_error_* functions
after the init function has returned, at which point the tracing logic
is initialized. Furthermore, I intentionally implemented this particular
init function so that it never returns an error.
Although, looking at the implementation of svn_atomic__init_once, we
really shouldn't be optimizing the error case with all the #if
APR_HAS_THREADS blocks.
