srv0srv.c:

  Fix a benign bug introduced in 4.0.14: InnoDB could complain 'Error: trying to declare trx to enter InnoDB' if several threads tried to init the auto-inc counter for the same table at the same time; in theory, the bug could even lead to a hang of the server, but that shuld be extremely improbable
