This was causing failures in automation that are preventing bug 1357829 from getting landed.
EnsureWalkThreadReady takes two locks, one in _beginthreadex and another in the DLL hook setup. We can avoid the first by not calling EnsureWalkThreadReady if we're walking a suspended thread, since we won't be using a separate WalkThread anyway. To avoid the hook locks, I gave in and decided to go back to setting up the hooks in DllBlocklist_Initialize as originally planned.
