Alessandro Vetere fa4f6a6194 MDEV-39600 Reduce contention in buf_flush_ahead()
When calling buf_flush_ahead() with furious=false, the function
updates the async target buf_flush_async_lsn and, if necessary notifies
the page cleaner thread to start flushing more eagerly, to avoid
a long stall later when checkpoint will be required.

When many threads call buf_flush_ahead() with furious=false, if
the update of buf_flush_async_lsn is gated inside
buf_pool.flush_list_mutex, this can cause significant contention,
just to deliver the new buf_flush_async_lsn value and a potential
notification to the page cleaner thread.

This commit enables, for the non furious case, lock-free update
of buf_flush_async_lsn and lock-free check of the page cleaner idle
flag, to avoid the contention on buf_pool.flush_list_mutex.
The lock is acquired by the CAS-loop winner thread and only
after the page cleaner is observed idle.
The cleaner clears buf_flush_async_lsn via CAS, so a concurrent
lock-free bump is preserved across the clear.
Since the reads are not protected by the mutex, there is a chance that
the decision to not signal the page cleaner thread is wrong.
In the worst case though, under sustained redo-log pressure,
eventually a wakeup signal will be delivered to the page cleaner thread
anyway, so the risk of a long stall is limited.

Similar reasoning applies to the possibly wrong decision taken by the
page cleaner thread to go to idle: eventually it will be woken up.

/**
A wrapper for std::atomic, defaulting to std::memory_order_relaxed.
When it comes to atomic loads or stores at std::memory_order_relaxed
on IA-32 or AMD64, this wrapper is only introducing some constraints
to the C++ compiler, to prevent some optimizations of loads or
stores.
On POWER and ARM, atomic loads and stores involve different instructions
from normal loads and stores and will thus incur some overhead.
Because atomic read-modify-write operations will always incur
overhead, we intentionally do not define
operator++(), operator--(), operator+=(), operator-=(), or similar,
to make the overhead stand out in the users of this code.
