    MDEV-26682 Replication timeouts with XA PREPARE · 18eab4a8

    The purpose of non-exclusive locks in a transaction is to guarantee
    that the records covered by those locks must remain in that way until
    the transaction is committed. (The purpose of gap locks is to ensure
    that a record that was nonexistent will remain that way.)
    
    Once a transaction has reached the XA PREPARE state, the only allowed
    further actions are XA ROLLBACK or XA COMMIT. Therefore, it can be
    argued that only the exclusive locks that the XA PREPARE transaction
    is holding are essential.
    
    Furthermore, InnoDB never preserved explicit locks across server restart.
    For XA PREPARE transations, we will only recover implicit exclusive locks
    for records that had been modified.
    
    Because of the fact that XA PREPARE followed by a server restart will
    cause some locks to be lost, we might as well always release all
    non-exclusive locks during the execution of an XA PREPARE statement.
    
    lock_release_on_prepare(): Release non-exclusive locks on XA PREPARE.
    
    trx_prepare(): Invoke lock_release_on_prepare() unless the
    isolation level is SERIALIZABLE or this is an internal distributed
    transaction with the binlog (not actual XA PREPARE statement).
    
    This has been discussed with Sergei Golubchik and Andrei Elkin.
