Does reverting Alex's patch fix tst-tls-manydynamic?

It's sufficient to revert the patch to nptl/allocatestack.c.  I don't
know if it is really needed, I and I have no idea how to make
initialization at this point safe because the threads themselves
could be using the DTV concurrently, so we cannot enlarge it.

I filed <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20915> so
that we keep track of this regression and fix it before the release.

You don't quite answer my question.

Well, obviously, because as I wrote, the patch broke the tst-tls-manydynamic test case.

If bug 20915 is a release blocker because of the new regression, and
I think it should be, then we should immediately add it to the release
blockers list for 2.25:

Thanks, I added it.
