i don't know about any fix for this.

this is the cause of nptl/tst-stack4 failure, it affects all archs,
it happens about once out of 100 runs here on aarch64.

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-tls.c: 493: _dl_allocate_tls_init:
Assertion `listp->slotinfo[cnt].gen <= _rtld_local._dl_tls_generation'
failed!

is this a regression ?  if not, has it increased in frequency ?  if not,
and there isn't a clear fix, i'm not sure it qualifies as a blocker.

it's not new, the frequency actually decreased since
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-03/msg00563.html
was committed.
