glibc: Add fix for data races in pthread_create and TLS access

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-tls.c: 493: _dl_allocate_tls_init: Assertion `listp->slotinfo[cnt].gen <= _rtld_local._dl_tls_generation' failed!
caused by dlopen (in _dl_add_to_slotinfo and in dl_open_worker) doing
  listp->slotinfo[idx].gen = GL(dl_tls_generation) + 1;
  //...
  if (any_tls && __builtin_expect (++GL(dl_tls_generation) == 0, 0))
while pthread_create (in _dl_allocate_tls_init) concurrently doing
  assert (listp->slotinfo[cnt].gen <= GL(dl_tls_generation));

Backported below patch that can fix the following bugs with a lock
that prevents DTV setup running concurrently with dlopen or dlclose.

Bug 19329: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19329
Bug 27111: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27111

Patch: 0031-elf-Fix-data-races-in-pthread_create-and-TLS-access-BZ-19329.patch
Link: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=patch;h=1387ad6225c2222f027790e3f460e31aa5dd2c54

It requires a supporting patch

Link: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=patch;h=c0669ae1a629e16b536bf11cdd0865e0dbcf4bee

After adding the above fix there is a number of racy read accesses
to globals that will be changed to relaxed MO atomics in follow-up
patch given below.

This fixes the regressions and avoids cluttering the main part
of the fix.

Backported the below patch to add the test to check the added fix.

Previously modids were never resused for a
different module, but after dlopen failure all gaps are reused
not just the ones caused by the unfinished dlopened.

The code has to handle reused modids already which seems to
work, however the data races at thread creation and tls access
(see bug 19329 and bug 27111) may be more severe if slots are
reused. Fixing the races are not simpler if reuse is disallowed
and reuse has other benefits so upstream added fix
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=572bd547d57a39b6cf0ea072545dc4048921f4c3
for the following bug.

Bug 27135: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27135

But in glibc upstream the commit 572bd547d57a was reverted as the
issue with 572bd547d57a patch was the DTV entry only updated on
dl_open_worker() with the update_tls_slotinfo() call after all
dependencies are being processed by _dl_map_object_deps(). However
_dl_map_object_deps() itself might call _dl_next_tls_modid(),
and since the _dl_tls_dtv_slotinfo_list::map was not yet set the
entry can be wrongly reused.

So added below patch to fix Bug 27135.

Not all TLS access related data races got fixed by adding
0031-elf-Fix-data-races-in-pthread_create-and-TLS-access-BZ-19329.patch,
there are additional races at lazy tlsdesc relocations.
Bug 27137: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27137

Backported below patches to fix this issue.

The fix 0031-elf-Fix-data-races-in-pthread_create-and-TLS-access-BZ-19329.patch
for bug 19329 caused a regression such that pthread_create can
deadlock when concurrent ctors from dlopen are waiting for it
to finish.
Bug 28357: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28357

Backported below patch to fix this issue.
