Subject: arm32 tlsdesc bug

Hi,

I think there's a bug in musl's TLSDESC implementation for ARM32.

TLSDESC uses two consecutive GOT slots to store a function pointer and its
argument. Usually, the function pointer is stored in the first slot and the
argument in the second. However, on ARM32, the order is reversed; the
argument is stored in the first slot.

If a TLSDESC relocation has a non-zero addend, it's applied to the function
argument and not to the function pointer. That means, for an ABI that uses
the REL-type relocations (as opposed to RELA-type), the addend should be
stored to the location where the function argument is stored, and that's
the first slot on ARM32.

So, I believe we need something like this.
