[PATCH] RISC-V: Fix linker problems with tls copy relocs.

The linker doesn't allocate memory space for sections that are only SEC_ALLOC
and SEC_THREAD_LOCAL. See the IS_TBSS test in ld/ldlang.c. So we need to
pretend that .tdata.dyn sections have contents to get the right result. It
will be marked this way anyways if there is a .tdata section to merge with.
Tested with cross binutils 32/64 elf/linux make and check with no regression.
Also tested with native binutils and glibc builds and checks, with no
regressions, and the glibc elf/tst-tls12 failure is fixed.
Committed.

* elfnn-riscv.c (riscv_elf_create_dynamic_sections): Add SEC_LOAD,
SEC_DATA, and SEC_HAS_CONTENTS to .tdata.dyn section.

+ /* Technically, this section doesn't have contents. It is used as the
+ target of TLS copy relocs, to copy TLS data from shared libraries into
+ the executable. However, if we don't mark it as loadable, then it
+ matches the IS_TBSS test in ldlang.c, and there is no run-time address
+ space allocated for it even though it has SEC_ALLOC. That test is
+ correct for .tbss, but not correct for this section. There is also
+ a second problem that having a section with no contents can only work
+ if it comes after all sections with contents in the same segment,
+ but the linker script does not guarantee that. This is just mixed in
+ with other .tdata.* sections. We can fix both problems by lying and
+ saying that there are contents. This section is expected to be small
+ so this should not cause a significant extra program startup cost. */
