Fix a potential bug when using __sync_lock_test_and_set()
TYPE __sync_lock_test_and_set (TYPE *ptr, TYPE value, ...)
it is not documented what happens if the two arguments are of different
type like it was before: the first one was lock_word_t (byte) and the
second one was 1 or 0 (int).

message:
Fix Bug#56340 innodb updates index stats too frequently after non-index updates
This is a simple optimization issue. All stats are related to only indexed
columns, index size or number of rows in the whole table. UPDATEs that touch
only non-indexed columns cannot affect stats and we can avoid calling the
function row_update_statistics_if_needed() which may result in unnecessary I/O.
Approved by: Marko (rb://466)
In addition to the above message: we know that
row_update_cascade_for_mysql() (the other place where
row_update_statistics_if_needed is called) always updates indexed
columns (FK-related), so there is no need to add this cond there.
CHECKSUM TABLE for performance schema tables could cause uninitialized
memory reads.
The root cause is a design flaw in the implementation of
mysql_checksum_table(), which do not honor null fields.
However, fixing this bug in CHECKSUM TABLE is risky, as it can cause the
checksum value to change.
This fix implements a work around, to systematically reset fields values
even for null fields, so that the field memory representation is always
initialized with a known value.
Before this fix, the server could crash inside a memcpy when reading data
from the EVENTS_WAITS_CURRENT / HISTORY / HISTORY_LONG tables.
The root cause is that the length used in a memcpy could be corrupted,
when another thread writes data in the wait record being read.
Reading unsafe data is ok, per design choice, and the code does sanitize
the data in general, but did not sanitize the length given to memcpy.
The fix is to also sanitize the schema name / object name / file name
length when extracting the data to produce a row.
