    elf: Fix TLS modid reuse generation assignment (BZ 29039)

    _dl_assign_tls_modid() assigns a slotinfo entry for a new module, but
    does *not* do anything to the generation counter. The first time this
    happens, the generation is zero and map_generation() returns the current
    generation to be used during relocation processing. However, if
    a slotinfo entry is later reused, it will already have a generation
    assigned. If this generation has fallen behind the current global max
    generation, then this causes an obsolete generation to be assigned
    during relocation processing, as map_generation() returns this
    generation if nonzero. _dl_add_to_slotinfo() eventually resets the
    generation, but by then it is too late. This causes DTV updates to be
    skipped, leading to NULL or broken TLS slot pointers and segfaults.

    Fix this by resetting the generation to zero in _dl_assign_tls_modid(),
    so it behaves the same as the first time a slot is assigned.
    _dl_add_to_slotinfo() will still assign the correct static generation
    later during module load, but relocation processing will no longer use
    an obsolete generation.

    Note that slotinfo entry (aka modid) reuse typically happens after a
    dlclose and only TLS access via dynamic tlsdesc is affected. Because
    tlsdesc is optimized to use the optional part of static TLS, dynamic
    tlsdesc can be avoided by increasing the glibc.rtld.optional_static_tls
    tunable to a large enough value, or by LD_PRELOAD-ing the affected
    modules.

    Fixes bug 29039.
