Bug#50561: ALTER PARTITIONS does not have adequate lock, breaks with
concurrent I_S query There were two problem: 1) MYSQL_LOCK_IGNORE_FLUSH also ignored name locks 2) there was a race between abort_and_upgrade_locks and alter_close_tables (i.e. remove_table_from_cache and close_data_files_and_morph_locks) Which allowed the table to be opened with MYSQL_LOCK_IGNORE_FLUSH flag resulting in renaming a partition that was already in use, which could cause the table to be unusable. Solution was to not allow IGNORE_FLUSH to skip waiting for a named locked table. And to not release the LOCK_open mutex between the calls to remove_table_from_cache and close_data_files_and_morph_locks by merging the functions abort_and_upgrade_locks and alter_close_tables.
