The first commit adds a volatile load of p_thread_callback when registering a dtor so that the compiler knows if the callback is used or not. I don't believe the added volatile instruction is otherwise significant in the context. In my testing using the volatile load allowed the compiler to correctly reason about whether on_tls_callback is used or not, allowing it to be omitted entirely in some cases. Admittedly it usually is used due to Thread but that can be avoided (e.g. in DLLs or with custom entry points that avoid the offending APIs). Ideally this would be something the compiler could help a bit more with so we didn't have to use tricks like #[used] or volatile. But alas.

I also used this as an opportunity to clean up the unused lints which I don't think serve a purpose any more.

The second commit removes the volatile load of _tls_used with #cfg[target_thread_local] because #[thread_local] already implies it. And if it ever didn't then #[thread_local] would be broken when there aren't any dtors.

Looks good to me 👍. I whole-heartedly agree to the point about the compiler, I think we could do so much better in that regard... maybe something for #110897?

Maybe! I'll try to write up the issue on that thread when I have a moment.
