      A better fix for bug #56405 "Deadlock in the MDL deadlock · 49406b97

      detector" that doesn't introduce bug #56715 "Concurrent
      transactions + FLUSH result in sporadical unwarranted
      deadlock errors".
      
      Deadlock could have occurred when workload containing a mix
      of DML, DDL and FLUSH TABLES statements affecting the same
      set of tables was executed in a heavily concurrent environment.
      
      This deadlock occurred when several connections tried to
      perform deadlock detection in the metadata locking subsystem.
      The first connection started traversing wait-for graph,
      encountered a sub-graph representing a wait for flush, acquired
      LOCK_open and dived into sub-graph inspection. Then it
      encountered sub-graph corresponding to wait for metadata lock
      and blocked while trying to acquire a rd-lock on
      MDL_lock::m_rwlock, since some,other thread had a wr-lock on it.
      When this wr-lock was released it could have happened (if there
      was another pending wr-lock against this rwlock) that the rd-lock
      from the first connection was left unsatisfied but at the same
      time the new rd-lock request from the second connection sneaked
      in and was satisfied (for this to be possible the second
      rd-request should come exactly after the wr-lock is released but
      before pending the wr-lock manages to grab rwlock, which is
      possible both on Linux and in our own rwlock implementation).
      If this second connection continued traversing the wait-for graph
      and encountered a sub-graph representing a wait for flush it tried
      to acquire LOCK_open and thus the deadlock was created.
      
      The previous patch tried to workaround this problem by not
      allowing the deadlock detector to lock LOCK_open mutex if
      some other thread doing deadlock detection already owns it
      and current search depth is greater than 0. Instead deadlock
      was reported. As a result it has introduced bug #56715.
      
      This patch solves this problem in a different way.
      It introduces a new rw_pr_lock_t implementation to be used
      by MDL subsystem instead of one based on Linux rwlocks or
      our own rwlock implementation. This new implementation
      never allows situation in which an rwlock is rd-locked and
      there is a blocked pending rd-lock. Thus the situation which
      has caused this bug becomes impossible with this implementation.
      
      Due to fact that this implementation is optimized for
      wr-lock/unlock scenario which is most common in the MDL
      subsystem it doesn't introduce noticeable performance
      regressions in sysbench tests. Moreover it significantly
      improves situation for POINT_SELECT test when many
      connections are used.
      
      No test case is provided as this bug is very hard to repeat
      in MTR environment but is repeatable with the help of RQG
      tests.
      This patch also doesn't include a test for bug #56715
      "Concurrent transactions + FLUSH result in sporadical
      unwarranted deadlock errors" as it takes too much time to
      be run as part of normal test-suite runs.
