MDEV-5089 - possible deadlocks between rwlocks and mutexes
Pre-MDL versions had direct relationship between LOCK_open and LOCK_global_system_variables, e.g.: intern_sys_var_ptr // locks LOCK_global_system_variable mysql_sys_var_char create_options_are_valid ha_innobase::create handler::ha_create ha_create_table rea_create_table mysql_create_table_no_lock // locks LOCK_open mysql_create_table With MDL this relationship was removed, but mutex order was still recorded. In fact there is indirect relationship between LOCK_open and LOCK_global_system_variables via rwlocks in reverse order. Removed LOCK_open and LOCK_global_system_variables order recording, instead assert that LOCK_open is never held in intern_sys_var_ptr(). This solves only one of many problems detected with MDEV-5089.
