optimize aarch64 dynamic tlsdesc function to spill fewer registers
with the glibc generation counter model for reusing dynamic tls slots
after dlclose, it's really not possible to get away with fewer than 4
working registers. for us however it's always been possible, but
tricky, and only became apparent after the switch to installing new
dynamic tls at dlopen time. by merging the negated thread pointer into
the addend early, the register holding the thread pointer can
immediately be reused, bringing the working register count down to
three. this allows saving/restoring via a single stp/ldp pair, since
the return register x0 does not need to be saved.
net reduction of 3 instructions, 2 of which were push/pop.
