[systemd-devel] [PATCH 09/10] doc: reword "shared per-thread" wording

Either it is shared across threads, or it is per-thread: decide.

Reading the source code, I see a thread_local identifier, so that's
that. But that does not yet preclude that a program may pass around
the pointer returned from the function among its own threads.

Do a best effort at saying so.
