onnxruntime-directml import interference with sklearn

[xcmgttacct]

Describe the issue

There is a weird bug when working with sklearn and onnxruntime-directml. When running natively with python, if the sklearn is imported before onnxruntime, the onnxruntime will throw DLL load failed exception:

...\onnxruntime\capi\_pybind_state.py", line 32, in <module>
from .onnxruntime_pybind11_state import *  # noqa
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing onnxruntime_pybind11_state: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

This behavior can be fixed by import onnxruntime first. However, in pyinstaller packed executable, rearrange the import order does not fix the issues.

To reproduce

A simple script to reproduce, the code below will throw exception:

import numpy
import sklearn
import onnxruntime

print(onnxruntime.__version__)

The code below works:

import numpy
import onnxruntime
import sklearn

print(onnxruntime.__version__)
