Fix tanf spurious underflows (bug 18221).
The flt-32 implementation of tanf produces spurious underflow exceptions for some small arguments, through computing values on the order of x^5. This patch fixes this by adjusting the threshold for returning x (or, as applicable, +/- 1/x) to 2**-13 (the next term in the power series being x^3/3). Tested for x86_64 and x86. [BZ #18221] * sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32/k_tanf.c (__kernel_tanf): Use 2**-13 not 2**-28 as threshold for returning x or +/- 1/x. * math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of tan. * math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
