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.
