The kernel notifies ALL Dlls unless the dll called
DisableThreadLibraryCalls(). The system cannot know if a thread will or
won't use the functions of a particular DLL so it MUST call DllMain For each
thread unless told not to for all threads. The advantage of
DisableThreadLibraryCalls() is that it can mark the DLL to skip this process
for most DLLs as it is not needed most of the time saving the overhead.
