Bug #54905 Connection with WRITE lock cannot ALTER table due to

concurrent SHOW CREATE

The problem was that a SHOW CREATE TABLE statement issued inside
a transaction did not release its metadata locks at the end of the
statement execution. This happened even if SHOW CREATE TABLE is an
information statement. 

The consequence was that SHOW CREATE TABLE was able to block other
connections from accessing the table (e.g. using ALTER TABLE).

This patch fixes the problem by explicitly releasing any metadata
locks taken by SHOW CREATE TABLE after the statement completes.

Test case added to show_check.test.
