When building share library, thread-local storage model will be changed to global-dynamic. It will add additional cost for reading thread local variable. On the other hand, dynamically load share library with static TLS will request additional DTV slot which is limited by loader. By now only librte_pmd_eal.so contain thread local variable. So that can make TLS model back to initial-exec like static library for better performance.
