[PATCH roland/weak-tls-dtors] Avoid unconditional __call_tls_dtors calls in static linking.


The cxa_thread_atexit_impl addition had a few issues that nobody caught in
review.  Let's take more care, folks.

1. libc_hidden_proto et al are not for internal functions.
   You don't need that complexity.  Just declare it hidden and you're done.
   The only reason we have that stuff is for public functions called from
   elsewhere in the library.

2. Rampant inattention to unconditional cruft in static linking.
   This problem has been bad for years and this is a drop in the bucket.
   But we don't need any more drops.  Always think about the static linking
   case, and think very carefully when adding calls to new code that might
   bring in a lot of other references.


If nobody sees any problems with this in a day or three, I'll put it in.


Thanks,
Roland

	* include/stdlib.h (__call_tls_dtors): Declare with attribute_hidden.
	Drop libc_hidden_proto.  Declare with __attribute__ ((weak)).
	* stdlib/cxa_thread_atexit_impl.c (__call_tls_dtors): Define with
	attribute_hidden.  Drop libc_hidden_def.
	* stdlib/exit.c (__libc_atexit) [!SHARED]:
	Call __call_tls_dtors only if it's not NULL.
