MDEV-28415 ALTER TABLE on a large table hangs InnoDB
buf_flush_page(): Never wait for a page latch, even in checkpoint flushing (flush_type == BUF_FLUSH_LIST), to prevent a hang of the page cleaner threads when a large number of pages is latched. In mysql/mysql-server@9542f3015b00330ef537f6223565b28b82a5b325 it was claimed that such a hang only affects CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX. Their fix was to retain buffer-fix but release exclusive latch on non-leaf pages, and subsequently write to those pages while they are not associated with the mini-transaction, which would trip a debug assertion in the MariaDB version of mtr_t::memo_modify_page() and cause potential corruption when using the default MariaDB setting innodb_log_optimize_ddl=OFF. This change essentially backports a small part of commit 7cffb5f6 (MDEV-23399) from MariaDB Server 10.5.7.
