BUG#14485479: INSTALL AUDIT PLUGIN HANGS IF WE TRY TO
DISABLE AND ENABLED DURING DDL OPERATION PROBLEM: Same thread trying to acquire the same mutex second time leads to hang/server crash. While [un]installing audit_log plugin a thread acquires the LOCK_plugin mutex and after successful initialization tries to write in mysql.plugin table. It holds this mutex for a long time. If some how plugin table is corrupted then a write to plugin table will throw an error, thread try to log this error in the audit_log plugin, doing so it tries to acquire the mutex again and results is server hang/crash. SOLUTION: Releasing the LOCK_plugin mutex before writing in mysql.plugin table. We dont need to hold this mutex as thread already acquired a TL_WRITE lock on mysql.plugin table.
