MENT-1707 Crash at reload_acl_and_cache
The stack function trace for this bug is: libc my_free free_root acl_reload The crash happens because acl_memroot gets corrupted. The issue was that during FLUSH PRIVILEGES we discard the old privileges and create new ones. We have protection in place that no one can accesses the privileges during this time. However one short piece of code called during login of a new user, or change password, was not properly protected, which could in some very rare circumstances case a memory overwrite of a MEMROOT object if at the same time another thread calls FLUSH PRIVILEGES. This it issue is fixed by adding protection around set_user_salt(). I also added asserts to other code that is using the acl_memroot to ensure that it is properly proteced everywhere.
