Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking

Currently the MySQL server does not keep metadata locks on
schema objects for the duration of a transaction, thus failing
to guarantee the integrity of the schema objects being used
during the transaction and to protect then from concurrent
DDL operations. This also poses a problem for replication as
a DDL operation might be replicated even thought there are
active transactions using the object being modified.

The solution is to defer the release of metadata locks until
a active transaction is either committed or rolled back. This
prevents other statements from modifying the table for the
entire duration of the transaction. This provides commitment
ordering for guaranteeing serializability across multiple
transactions.

- Incompatible change:

If MySQL's metadata locking system encounters a lock conflict,
the usual schema is to use the try and back-off technique to
avoid deadlocks -- this schema consists in releasing all locks
and trying to acquire them all in one go.

But in a transactional context this algorithm can't be utilized
as its not possible to release locks acquired during the course
of the transaction without breaking the transaction commitments.
To avoid deadlocks in this case, the ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK will be
returned if a lock conflict is encountered during a transaction.

Let's consider an example:

A transaction has two statements that modify table t1, then table
t2, and then commits. The first statement of the transaction will
acquire a shared metadata lock on table t1, and it will be kept
utill COMMIT to ensure serializability.

At the moment when the second statement attempts to acquire a
shared metadata lock on t2, a concurrent ALTER or DROP statement
might have locked t2 exclusively. The prescription of the current
locking protocol is that the acquirer of the shared lock backs off
-- gives up all his current locks and retries. This implies that
the entire multi-statement transaction has to be rolled back.

- Incompatible change:

FLUSH commands such as FLUSH PRIVILEGES and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK won't cause locked tables to be implicitly unlocked anymore.

  Add a test case for Bug#989/WL#4284.
mysql-test/t/partition_innodb_semi_consistent.test:
  Replace TRUNCATE with DELETE, to not issue
  an implicit commit of a transaction, and not depend
  on metadata locks.
mysql-test/t/partition_sync.test:

sql/ha_ndbcluster_binlog.cc:
  Backport bits of changes of ha_ndbcluster_binlog.cc
  from 6.0, to fix the failing binlog test suite with
  WL#4284. WL#4284 implementation does not work
  with 5.1 implementation of ndbcluster binlog index.
sql/log_event.cc:
  Release metadata locks after issuing a commit.
sql/mdl.cc:
  Style changes (WL#4284).
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Rename parameter to match the name used in the definition (WL#4284).
sql/rpl_injector.cc:
  Release metadata locks on commit (WL#4284).
sql/rpl_rli.cc:
  Remove assert made meaningless, metadata locks are released
  at the end of the transaction.
sql/set_var.cc:
  Close tables and release locks if autocommit mode is set.
sql/slave.cc:
  Release metadata locks after a rollback.
sql/sql_acl.cc:
  Don't implicitly unlock locked tables. Issue a implicit commit
  at the end and unlock tables.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  Defer the release of metadata locks when closing tables
  if not required to.
  Issue a deadlock error if the locking protocol requires
  that a transaction re-acquire its locks.
  
  Release metadata locks when closing tables for reopen.
sql/sql_class.cc:
  Release metadata locks if the thread is killed.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  Release metadata locks after implicitly committing a active
  transaction, or after explicit commits or rollbacks.
sql/sql_plugin.cc:
  
  Allocate MDL request on the stack as the use of the table
  is contained within the function. It will be removed from
  the context once close_thread_tables is called at the end
  of the function.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
  The problem is that the prepare phase of the CREATE TABLE
  statement takes a exclusive metadata lock lock and this can
  cause a self-deadlock the thread already holds a shared lock
  on the table being that should be created.
  
  The solution is to make the prepare phase take a shared
  metadata lock when preparing a CREATE TABLE statement. The
  execution of the statement will still acquire a exclusive
  lock, but won't cause any problem as it issues a implicit
  commit.
  
  After some discussions with stakeholders it has been decided that
  metadata locks acquired during a PREPARE statement must be released
  once the statement is prepared even if it is prepared within a multi
  statement transaction.
sql/sql_servers.cc:
  Don't implicitly unlock locked tables. Issue a implicit commit
  at the end and unlock tables.
sql/sql_table.cc:
  Close table and release metadata locks after a admin operation.
sql/table.h:
  The problem is that the prepare phase of the CREATE TABLE
  statement takes a exclusive metadata lock lock and this can
  cause a self-deadlock the thread already holds a shared lock
  on the table being that should be created.
  
  The solution is to make the prepare phase take a shared
  metadata lock when preparing a CREATE TABLE statement. The
  execution of the statement will still acquire a exclusive
  lock, but won't cause any problem as it issues a implicit
  commit.
sql/transaction.cc:
  Release metadata locks after the implicitly committed due
  to a new transaction being started. Also, release metadata
  locks acquired after a savepoint if the transaction is rolled
  back to the save point.
  
  The problem is that in some cases transaction-long metadata locks
  could be released before the transaction was committed. This could
  happen when a active transaction was ended by a "START TRANSACTION"
  or "BEGIN" statement, in which case the metadata locks would be
  released before the actual commit of the active transaction.
  
  The solution is to defer the release of metadata locks to after the
  transaction has been implicitly committed. No test case is provided
  as the effort to provide one is too disproportional to the size of
  the fix.
