rtld: Account static TLS surplus for audit modules
The new static TLS surplus size computation is
surplus_tls = 192 * (nns-1) + 144 * nns + 512
where nns is controlled via the rtld.nns tunable. This commit
accounts audit modules too so nns = rtld.nns + audit modules.
rtld.nns should only include the namespaces required by the
application, namespaces for audit modules are accounted on top
of that so audit modules don't use up the static TLS that is
reserved for the application. This allows loading many audit
modules without tuning rtld.nns or using up static TLS, and it
fixes
FAIL: elf/tst-auditmany
Note that DL_NNS is currently a hard upper limit for nns, and
if rtld.nns + audit modules go over the limit that's a fatal
error. By default rtld.nns is 4 which allows 12 audit modules.
Counting the audit modules is based on existing audit string
parsing code, we cannot use GLRO(dl_naudit) before the modules
are actually loaded.
