  Make the computation in elf/dl-tls.c more transparent, and add
an explicit test for the historic value.

Tested on powerpc64le-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

OK with one comment fix.

to me it's not clear what is smaller than what.
on some architectures libc.so has > 144 bytes
ie tls?

note that alignment is not considered in the
computation (i just assumed that if all sizes
are rounded up to 16bytes that works, if
something has larger tls alignment requirement
then that should be included into the size)
but i think 144 is OK.

note that this is for the dynamic linking case.

with static linking the historical size was
2048 bytes static tls unconditionally, i
significantly reduced that with my patch
because then DL_NNS==1, this adds back a
bit of extra static tls in that case, but
that's OK.

OK.

I meant that the actual libc.so usage may be lower than LIBC_IE_TLS, due
to pointer size differences and link editor capabilities.  Some targets
seem to be more successful at eliminating padding from the static TLS
area.

I will send a new patch.

Thanks,
Florian
