[PATCH 3/3] Single thread optimization refactor


Current GLIBC uses the define TLS_MULTIPLE_THREADS_IN_TCB to whether
declare or not the global variables used for the single thread
optimization for cancellable syscalls (STOCS).  ALthough it does work
correctly, this is not the correct define since there are architectures
that do not define TLS_MULTIPLE_THREADS_IN_TCB but does not use the
global variables (by prefering accessing the TCB/pthread_t fields
instead).

With single thread optimization for cancellable syscalls refactored
by using SINGLE_THREAD_BY_GLOBAL define, we can use it instead to
define where the __{libc,pthread}_multiple_threads is defined.

This is based on my "Remove sysdep-cancel assembly macro" patchset [1].

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and on a build with major touched
ABis (aarch64-linux-gnu, alpha-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabihf,
hppa-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, m68k-linux-gnu, microblaze-linux-gnu,
mips-linux-gnu, mips64-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu,
powerpc64le-linux-gnu, s390-linux-gnu, s390x-linux-gnu, sh4-linux-gnu,
sparcv9-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu, tilegx-linux-gnu).

	* nptl/allocatestack.c (allocate_state): Use
	SET_SINGLE_THREAD_PTHREAD macro.
	* nptl/pthread_cancel.c (__pthread_cancel): Likewise.
	* nptl/libc_multiple_threads.c (__libc_multiple_threads): Define for
	libc and SINGLE_THREAD_BY_GLOBAL.
	* nptl/libc_pthread_init.c (__libc_pthread_init): Use same
	signature whether SINGLE_THREAD_BY_GLOBAL is set or not.
	* nptl/pthreadP.h (__libc_pthread_init): Likewise.
	* nptl/nptl-init.c (__libc_multiple_threads_ptr): Use
	MULTIPLE_THREADS_PTR_DEF.
	(__pthread_initialize_minimal_internal): Use MULTIPLE_THREADS_PTR_SET
	macro.
	* nptl/vars.c (__pthread_multiple_threads): Define for libpthread
	and SINGLE_THREAD_BY_GLOBAL.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sysdep-cancel.h (MULTIPLE_THREADS_PTR_DEF):
	Define.
	(MULTIPLE_THREADS_PTR_SET): Likewise.
	(SET_SINGLE_THREAD_PTHREAD): Likewise.
