Bug#11763573 - 56299: MUTEX DEADLOCK WITH COM_BINLOG_DUMP, BINLOG PURGE, AND PROCESSLIST/KILL
The bug case is similar to one fixed earlier bug_49536. Deadlock involving LOCK_log appears to be possible because the purge running thread is holding LOCK_log whereas there is no sense of doing that and which fact was exploited by the earlier bug fixes. Fixed with small reengineering of rotate_and_purge(), adding two new methods and setting up a policy to execute those instead of the former rotate_and_purge(RP_LOCK_LOG_IS_ALREADY_LOCKED). The policy for using rotate(), purge() is that if the caller acquires LOCK_log itself, it should call rotate(), release the mutex and run purge(). Side effect of this patch is refining error message of bug@11747416 to print the whole path.
