Bug 20915: Do not initialize DTV of other threads.

In _dl_nothread_init_static_tls() and init_one_static_tls() we must not
touch the DTV of other threads since we do not have ownership of them.
The DTV need not be initialized at this point anyway since only LD/GD
accesses will use them. If LD/GD accesses occur they will take care to
initialize their own thread's DTV.

Concurrency comments were removed from the patch since they need to be
reworked along with a full description of DTV ownership and when it is
or is not safe to modify these structures.
