Bug#41425 Assertion in Protocol::end_statement() (pushbuild2)

          (diagnostics_area)
      
Execution of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement was not atomic in
the sense that concurrent statements trying to affect its target
table might have sneaked in between the moment when the table was
created and moment when it was filled according to SELECT clause.
This resulted in inconsistent binary log, unexpected target table
contents. In cases when concurrent statement was a DDL statement
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT might have failed with ER_CANT_LOCK error.
      
In more detail:
Due to premature metadata lock downgrade which occured after CREATE
TABLE SELECT statement created table but before it managed to obtain
table-level lock on it other statements were allowed to open, lock
and change target table in the middle of CREATE TABLE SELECT
execution. This also meant that it was possible that CREATE TABLE
SELECT would wait in mysql_lock_tables() when it was called for newly
created table and that this wait could have been aborted by concurrent
DDL. The latter led to execution of unexpected branch of code and
CREATE TABLE SELECT ending with ER_CANT_LOCK error.
      
The premature downgrade occured because open_table(), which was called
for newly created table, decided that it is OK to downgrade metadata
lock from exclusive to shared since table exists, even although it
was not acquired within this call.
      
This fix ensures that open_table() does not downgrade metadata lock
if it is not acquired during its current invocation.
      
Testing:
The bug is exposed in a race condition, and is thus difficult to
expose in a standard mysql-test-run test case.  Instead, a stress
test using the Random Query Generator (https://launchpad.net/randgen)
will trip the problem occasionally.
      
   % perl  runall.pl \
            --basedir=<build dir> \
             --mysqld=--table-lock-wait-timeout=5 \
             --mysqld=--skip-safemalloc \
             --grammar=conf/maria_bulk_insert.yy \
             --reporters=ErrorLog,Backtrace,WinPackage \
             --mysqld=--log-output=file  \
             --queries=100000 \
             --threads=10 \
             --engine=myisam
      
Note: You will need a debug build to expose the bug
      
When the bug is tripped, the server will abort and dump core.
