Jon Olav Hauglid b6f0c3a157 Bug #51391 Deadlock involving events during rqg_info_schema test ...

This was a deadlock between CREATE/ALTER/DROP EVENT and a query
accessing both the mysql.event table and I_S.GLOBAL_VARIABLES.

The root of the problem was that the LOCK_event_metadata mutex was
used to both protect the "event_scheduler" global system variable
and the internal event data structures used by CREATE/ALTER/DROP EVENT.

The deadlock would occur if CREATE/ALTER/DROP EVENT held
LOCK_event_metadata while trying to open the mysql.event table,
at the same time as the query had mysql.event open, trying to
lock LOCK_event_metadata to access "event_scheduler".

This bug was fixed in the scope of Bug#51160 by using only
LOCK_global_system_variables to protect "event_scheduler".
This makes it so that the query above won't lock LOCK_event_metadata,
thereby preventing this deadlock from occuring.

This patch contains no code changes.
Test case added to lock_sync.test.
