    elf: Fix data races in pthread_create and TLS access [BZ #19329]
    
    DTV setup at thread creation (_dl_allocate_tls_init) is changed
    to take the dlopen lock, GL(dl_load_lock).  Avoiding data races
    here without locks would require design changes: the map that is
    accessed for static TLS initialization here may be concurrently
    freed by dlclose.  That use after free may be solved by only
    locking around static TLS setup or by ensuring dlclose does not
    free modules with static TLS, however currently every link map
    with TLS has to be accessed at least to see if it needs static
    TLS.  And even if that's solved, still a lot of atomics would be
    needed to synchronize DTV related globals without a lock. So fix
    both bug 19329 and bug 27111 with a lock that prevents DTV setup
    running concurrently with dlopen or dlclose.
    
    _dl_update_slotinfo at TLS access still does not use any locks
    so CONCURRENCY NOTES are added to explain the synchronization.
    The early exit from the slotinfo walk when max_modid is reached
    is not strictly necessary, but does not hurt either.
    
    An incorrect acquire load was removed from _dl_resize_dtv: it
    did not synchronize with any release store or fence and
    synchronization is now handled separately at thread creation
    and TLS access time.
    
    There are still a number of racy read accesses to globals that
    will be changed to relaxed MO atomics in a followup patch. This
    should not introduce regressions compared to existing behaviour
    and avoid cluttering the main part of the fix.
    
    Not all TLS access related data races got fixed here: there are
    additional races at lazy tlsdesc relocations see bug 27137.
