    thd->open_tables"
    
    thd->open_tables list is not normally accessed concurrently
    except for one case: when the connection has open SQL
    HANDLER tables, and we want to perform a DDL on the table,
    we want to abort waits on MyISAM thr_lock of those connections
    that prevent the DDL from proceeding, and iterate
    over thd->open_tables list to find out the tables on which
    the thread is waiting.
    
    In 5.5 we mostly use deadlock detection and soft deadlock 
    prevention, as opposed to "hard" deadlock prevention
    of 5.1, which would abort any transaction that
    may cause a deadlock. The only remaining case when
    neither deadlock detection nor deadlock prevention
    is implemented in 5.5 is HANDLER SQL, where we use
    old good thr_lock_abort() technique form 5.1. 
    
    Thus, replace use of LOCK_open to protect thd->open_tables
    with thd->LOCK_ha_data (a lock protecting various session
    private data).
    
    This is a port of the work done for 5.5.4 for review
    and inclusion into 5.5.5.
