MDEV-22782 AddressSanitizer race condition in trx_free()
In trx_free() we used to declare the entire trx_t unaccessible and then declare that some data members are accessible. This involves a race condition with other threads that may concurrently access the data members that must remain accessible. One type of error is "AddressSanitizer: unknown-crash", whose exact cause we have not determined. Another type of error (reported in MDEV-23472) is "use-after-poison", where the reported shadow bytes would in fact be 00, indicating that the memory was no longer poisoned. The poison-access-unpoison race condition was confirmed by "rr replay". We eliminate the race condition by invoking MEM_NOACCESS on each individual data member of trx_t before freeing the memory to the pool. The memory would not be unpoisoned until the pool is freed or the memory is being reused for another allocation. trx_t::free(): Replaces trx_free(). trx_t::active_commit_ordered: Changed to bool, so that MEM_NOACCESS can be invoked. Removed some accessor functions. Pool: Remove all MEM_ instrumentation. TrxFactory: Move the MEM_ instrumentation from Pool. TrxFactory::debug(): Removed. Moved to trx_t::free(). Because the memory was already marked unaccessible in trx_t::free(), the Factory::debug() call in Pool::putl() would be unable to access it. trx_allocate_for_background(): Replaces trx_create_low(). trx_t::free(): Perform all consistency checks while avoiding duplication, and declare most data members unaccessible.
