elf: Avoid using memalign for TLS allocations [BZ #17730]
Instead of a flag which indicates the pointer can be freed, dtv_t now includes the pointer which should be freed. Due to padding, the size of dtv_t does not increase. To avoid using memalign, the new allocate_dtv_entry function allocates a sufficiently large buffer so that a sub-buffer can be found in it which starts with an aligned pointer. Both the aligned and original pointers are kept, the latter for calling free later.

+ [BZ #17730]
+ Avoid using memalign for TLS allocations.
+ * sysdeps/generic/dl-dtv.h (struct dtv_pointer): New. Replaces
+ is_static member with to_free member.
+ (union dtv): Use struct dtv_pointer.
+ * csu/libc-tls.c (__libc_setup_tls): Set to_free member of struct
+ dtv_pointer instead of is_static.
+ * elf/dl-tls.c (_dl_allocate_tls_init): Likewise.
+ (_dl_deallocate_tls): Free to_free member of struct dtv_pointer
+ instead of val.
+ (allocate_dtv_entry): New function.
+ (allocate_and_init): Return struct dtv_pointer. Call
+ allocate_dtv_entry instead of __libc_memalign.
+ (_dl_update_slotinfo): Free to_free member of struct dtv_pointer
+ instead of val.
+ (tls_get_addr_tail): Set to_free member of struct dtv_pointer
+ instead of is_static. Adjust call to allocate_and_init.
+ * nptl/allocatestack.c (get_cached_stack): Free to_free member of
+ struct dtv_pointer instead of val.
