powerpc: Only enable TLE with PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC
Linux from 3.9 through 4.2 does not abort HTM transaction on syscalls, instead it suspend and resume it when leaving the kernel. The side-effects of the syscall will always remain visible, even if the transaction is aborted. This is an issue when transaction is used along with futex syscall, on pthread_cond_wait for instance, where the futex call might succeed but the transaction is rolled back leading the pthread_cond object in an inconsistent state. Glibc used to prevent it by always aborting a transaction before issuing a syscall. Linux 4.2 also decided to abort active transaction in syscalls which makes the glibc workaround superfluous. Worse, glibc transaction abortion leads to a performance issue on recent kernels where the HTM state is saved/restore lazily (v4.9). By aborting a transaction on every syscalls, regardless whether a transaction has being initiated before, GLIBS makes the kernel always save/restore HTM state (it can not even lazily disable it after a certain number of syscall iterations). Because of this shortcoming, Transactional Lock Elision is just enabled when it has been explicitly set (either by tunables of by a configure switch) and if kernel aborts HTM transactions on syscalls (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC). It is reported that using simple benchmark [1], the context-switch is about 5% faster by not issuing a tabort in every syscall in newer kernels. Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu with 4.4.0 kernel (Ubuntu 16.04). * NEWS: Add note about new TLE support on powerpc64le. * sysdeps/powerpc/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym (TM_CAPABLE): Remove. * sysdeps/powerpc/nptl/tls.h (tcbhead_t): Rename tm_capable to __ununsed1.

* The reallocarray function is now declared under _DEFAULT_SOURCE, not just

* For powercp64le ABI, Transactional Lock Elision is now enabled iff kernel

indicates that it will abort the transaction prior to entering the kernel
