Let me know if this works? I have added one additional LIT test. I referred to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/storage-classes-cpp?view=msvc-170#thread_local for thread_local. 
For the inline variables, I couldn't find much information about initialization of inline variables. I tried to find a case that wouldn't pass by the new code and wouldn't pass by EmitCXXGlobalVarDeclInitFunc, but no success.
