The bug case is similar to one fixed earlier bug_49536.
Deadlock involving LOCK_log appears to be possible because the purge running thread
is holding LOCK_log whereas there is no sense of doing that and which fact was
exploited by the earlier bug fixes.
Fixed with small reengineering of rotate_and_purge(), adding two new methods and
setting up a policy to execute those instead of the former
rotate_and_purge(RP_LOCK_LOG_IS_ALREADY_LOCKED).
The policy for using rotate(), purge() is that if the caller acquires LOCK_log itself,
it should call rotate(), release the mutex and run purge().
Side effect of this patch is refining error message of bug@11747416 to print
the whole path.

FLUSH TABLES under FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK leads
to assert failure.
This assert was triggered if a statement tried up upgrade a metadata
lock with an active FLUSH TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK. The assert
checks that the connection already holds a global intention exclusive
metadata lock. However, FLUSH TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK does not
acquire this lock in order to be compatible with FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK. Therefore any metadata lock upgrade caused the assert to
be triggered.
This patch fixes the problem by preventing metadata lock upgrade
if the connection has an active FLUSH TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK.
ER_TABLE_NOT_LOCKED_FOR_WRITE will instead be reported to the client.
Test case added to flush.test.

table causes assert failure".
Attempting to use FLUSH TABLE table_list WITH READ LOCK
statement for a MERGE table led to an assertion failure if
one of its children was not present in the list of tables
to be flushed. The problem was not visible in non-debug builds.
The assertion failure was caused by the fact that in such
situations FLUSH TABLES table_list WITH READ LOCK implementation
tried to use (e.g. lock) such child tables without acquiring
metadata lock on them. This happened because when opening tables
we assumed metadata locks on all tables were already acquired
earlier during statement execution and a such assumption was
false for MERGE children.
This patch fixes the problem by ensuring at open_tables() time
that we try to acquire metadata locks on all tables to be opened.
For normal tables such requests are satisfied instantly since
locks are already acquired for them. For MERGE children metadata
locks are acquired in normal fashion.
Note that FLUSH TABLES merge_table WITH READ LOCK will lock for
read both the MERGE table and its children but will flush only
the MERGE table. To flush children one has to mention them in table
list explicitly. This is expected behavior and it is consistent with
usage patterns for this statement (e.g. in mysqlhotcopy script).

Added test case for bug #55273 "FLUSH TABLE tm WITH READ LOCK

sql/sql_base.cc:
Changed lock_table_names() to support newly introduced
MYSQL_OPEN_SKIP_SCOPED_MDL_LOCK flag.
sql/sql_base.h:
Introduced MYSQL_OPEN_SKIP_SCOPED_MDL_LOCK flag for
open_tables() and lock_table_names() which allows to skip
acquiring of global and schema-scope locks when SNW, SNRW or
X metadata locks are acquired.
sql/sql_reload.cc:
Changed "FLUSH TABLES table_list WITH READ LOCK" code not to
cause assert about missing metadata locks when MERGE table is
flushed without one of its underlying tables.
To achieve this we no longer call open_and_lock_tables() with
MYSQL_OPEN_HAS_MDL_LOCK flag so this function automatically
acquires metadata locks on MERGE children if such lock has
not been already acquired at earlier stage. Instead we call
this function with MYSQL_OPEN_SKIP_SCOPED_MDL_LOCK flag to
suppress acquiring of global IX lock in order to keep FLUSH
TABLES table_list WITH READ LOCK compatible with FLUSH TABLE
WITH READ LOCK.
Also changed implementation to use lock_table_names() function
for pre-acquiring of metadata locks instead of custom code.
To implement this change moved setting of open_type member for
table list elements to parser.
sql/sql_yacc.yy:
Now we set acceptable type of table for FLUSH TABLES table_list
WITH READ LOCK at parsing time instead of execution time.
