Fix for bug #45143 "All connections hang on concurrent ALTER TABLE".
Concurrent execution of statements which require non-table-level write locks on several instances of the same table (such as SELECT ... FOR UPDATE which uses same InnoDB table twice or a DML statement which invokes trigger which tries to update same InnoDB table directly and through stored function) and statements which required table-level locks on this table (e.g. LOCK TABLE ... WRITE, ALTER TABLE, ...) might have resulted in a deadlock. The problem occured when a thread tried to acquire write lock (TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE) on the table but had to wait since there was a pending write lock (TL_WRITE, TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ) on this table and we failed to detect that this thread already had another instance of write lock on it (so in fact we were trying to acquire recursive lock) because there was also another thread holding write lock on the table (also TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE). When the latter thread released its lock neither the first thread nor the thread trying to acquire TL_WRITE/TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ were woken up (as table was still write locked by the first thread) so we ended up with a deadlock. This patch solves this problem by ensuring that thread which already has write lock on the table won't wait when it tries to acquire second write lock on the same table. mysql-test/r/lock_sync.result: Added test case for bug #45143 "All connections hang on concurrent ALTER TABLE". mysql-test/t/lock_sync.test: Added test case for bug #45143 "All connections hang on concurrent ALTER TABLE". mysys/thr_lock.c: Ensured that thread can acquire write lock on the table without waiting if it already has write lock on it even if there are other threads holding write locks on this table (this is normal situation for, e.g., TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE type of lock). Adjusted comments to better explain why it is OK to do so and added asserts to prevent introduction of scenarios in which this can cause problems.
