ARM: don't attempt to merge litpools referencing different PC-anchors.

There are four thread local storage (TLS) models in Clang/LLVM as following:
1) global-dynamic TLS model
2) local-dynamic TLS model
3) local-exec TLS model
4) initial-exec TLS model
and emulated-TLS (for Android S/W platform)??

Even though, We can build run normally with the static relocation method by
selecting the initial-exec TLS model instead of global-dynamic TLS model (by
default) , We need to run the clang application code with global-dynamic (or
local-dynamic) TLS model in order that we support some applications is working
with dlopen(3) library call.

We have found the appropriate solution for some clang/LLVM applications
including 1) __thread variables and 2) -O2/-O3 of the clang language. Could you
apply this patch to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS repository?

* LLVM: Revision 268662 (ARM: don't attempt to merge litpools referencing
different PC-anchors.)
