    Fix for bug #40552: Race condition around default_directories · f7cf8e57

                        in load_defaults() 
    
    load_defaults(), my_search_option_files() and 
    my_print_default_files()  utilized a global variable 
    containing  a pointer to thread local memory. This could lead 
    to race conditions when those functions were called with high 
    concurrency. 
    
    Fixed by changing the interface of the said functions to avoid 
    the necessity for using a global variable.
    
    Since we cannot change load_defaults() prototype for API
    compatibility reasons, it was renamed my_load_defaults().
    Now load_defaults() is a thread-unsafe wrapper around
    a thread-safe version, my_load_defaults().
    
    
    mysys/default.c:
      1. Added a thread-safe version of load_defaults(), changed
      load_defaults() with the old interface to be a thread-unsafe
      wrapper around the thread-safe version.
      2. Always use a private MEM_ROOT in my_print_default_files, 
      don't use a global variable.
    sql-common/client.c:
      Use a thread-safe version of load_defaults().
