MDEV-3917 multiple use locks (GET_LOCK) in one connection.
The patch contributed by Konstantin Osipov applied. Native comments: Implement multiple user-level locks per connection. GET_LOCK() function in MySQL allows a connection to hold at most one user level lock. Taking a new lock automatically releases the old lock, if any. The limit of one lock per session existed since early versions of MySQL didn't have a deadlock detector for SQL locks. MDL patches in MySQL 5.5 added a deadlock detector, so starting from 5.5 it became possible to take multiple locks in any order -- a deadlock, should it occur, would be detected and an error returned to the client which closed the wait chain. This is exactly what is done in this patch: ULLs are moved to use MDL subsystem.
