  Applied innodb-5.0-ss982, -ss998, -ss1003
  
  Revision r1000:
  branches/5.0: Merge r999 from trunk:
  
  Reduce buffer pool mutex contention under >= 4 big concurrent
  CPU-bound SELECT queries.  (Bug #22868)
  
  Fix: replace the mutex by one mutex protecting the 'flush list'
  (and the free list) and several mutexes protecting portions of the
  buffer pool, where we keep several indivudual LRU lists of pages.
  
  This patch is from Sunny Bains and Heikki Tuuri.

  Revision r974:
  branches/5.0: Port r973 from trunk.
  
  Do not break the latching order in TRUNCATE TABLE.
  
  dict_truncate_index_tree(): Replace parameter rec_t* rec with
  btr_pcur_t* pcur.  Reposition pcur before calling btr_create().

  array while holding the mutex.  This removes the crash-triggering
  race condition that was introduced when fixing Bug 15653.  (Bug #24089)
