[PATCH] Harden tls_dtor_list with pointer mangling [BZ #19018]


This patch mangles the destructor function pointer in tls_dtor_list with
pointer mangling, making it more difficult to construct a function
pointer which does not lead to a crash.

Tested with the new thread_local test on x86_64 (with thread_local
support in GCC).

	[BZ #19018]
	* stdlib/cxa_thread_atexit_impl.c (__cxa_thread_atexit_impl):
	Mangle function pointer before storing it.
	(__call_tls_dtors): Demangle function pointer before calling it.
