    Bug #47249 assert in MDL_global_lock::is_lock_type_compatible
    
    This assert could be triggered if LOCK TABLES were used to lock
    both a table and a view that used the same table. The table would have
    to be first WRITE locked and then READ locked. So "LOCK TABLES v1
    WRITE, t1 READ" would eventually trigger the assert, "LOCK TABLES
    v1 READ, t1 WRITE" would not. The reason is that the ordering of locks
    in the interal representation made a difference when executing 
    FLUSH TABLE on the table.
    
    During FLUSH TABLE, a lock was upgraded to exclusive. If this lock
    was of type MDL_SHARED and not MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE, an internal
    counter in the MDL subsystem would get out of sync. This would happen
    if the *last* mention of the table in LOCK TABLES was a READ lock.
    
    The counter in question is the number exclusive locks (active or intention). 
    This is used to make sure a global metadata lock is only taken when the 
    counter is zero (= no conflicts). The counter is increased when a
    MDL_EXCLUSIVE or MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE lock is taken, but not when 
    upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() is used to upgrade directly
    from MDL_SHARED to MDL_EXCLUSIVE. 
    
    This patch fixes the problem by searching for a TABLE instance locked
    with MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE or MDL_EXCLUSIVE before calling
    upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive(). The patch also adds an assert checking
    that only MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE locks are upgraded to exclusive.
    
    Test case added to lock_multi.test.
