W1: don't delay search start

Move the creation of the w1_process thread to after the device has been
initialized.  This way w1_process doesn't have to check to see if it has
been initialized and the bus search can proceed without sleeping.  That
also eliminates two checks in the w1_process loop.  The sleep now happens
at the end of the loop not the beginning.

Also added a comment for why the atomic_set was 2.
