    Follow up to MDEV-12366: FLUSH privileges can break hierarchy of roles · 24efee91

    A suggestion to make role propagation simpler from serg@mariadb.org.
    
    Instead of gathering the leaf roles in an array, which for very wide
    graphs could potentially mean a big part of the whole roles schema, keep
    the previous logic. When finally merging a role, set its counter
    to something positive.
    
    This will effectively mean that a role has been merged, thus a random pass
    through roles hash that touches a previously merged role won't cause the problem
    described in MDEV-12366 any more, as propagate_role_grants_action will stop
    attempting to merge from that role.
