message:
  Fix for bug #46044 "MDL deadlock on LOCK TABLE + CREATE TABLE HIGH_PRIORITY
  FOR UPDATE".

  Deadlock occured when during execution of query to I_S we tried to open
  a table or its .FRM in order to get information about it and had to wait
  because we have encountered exclusive metadata lock on this table held by
  a DDL operation from another connection which in its turn waited for some
  resource currently owned by connection executing this I_S query.
  For example, this might have happened if one under LOCK TABLES executed I_S
  query targeted to particular table (which was not among locked) and also
  concurrently tried to create this table using CREATE TABLE SELECT which
  had to wait for one of tables locked by the first connection.
  Another situation in which deadlock might have occured is when I_S query,
  which was executed as part of transaction, tried to get information about
  table which just has been dropped by concurrent DROP TABLES executed under
  LOCK TABLES and this DROP TABLES for its completion also had to wait
  transaction from the first connection.

  This problem stemmed from the fact that opening of tables/.FRMs for I_S
  filling is happening outside of connection's main MDL_context so code
  which tries to detect deadlocks due to conflicting metadata locks doesn't
  work in this case. Indeed, this led to deadlocks when during I_S filling
  we tried to wait for conflicting metadata lock to go away, while its owner
  was waiting for some resource held by connection executing I_S query.

  This patch solves this problem by avoiding waiting in such situation.
  Instead we skip this table and produce warning that information about
  it was omitted from I_S due to concurrent DDL operation. We still wait
  for conflicting metadata lock to go away when it is known that deadlock
  is not possible (i.e. when connection executing I_S query does not hold
  any metadata or table-level locks).
  Basically, we apply our standard deadlock avoidance technique for metadata
  locks to the process of filling of I_S tables but replace ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
  error with a warning.
  Note that this change is supposed to be safe for 'mysqldump' since the
  only its mode which is affected by this change is --single-transaction mode
  is not safe in the presence of concurrent DDL anyway (and this fact is
  documented). Other modes are unaffected because they either use
  SHOW TABLES/SELECT * FROM I_S.TABLE_NAMES which do not take any metadata
  locks in the process of I_S table filling and thus cannot skip tables or
  execute I_S queries for tables which were previously locked by LOCK TABLES
  (or in the presence of global read lock) which excludes possibility of
  encountering conflicting metadata lock.
