Alexander Tivelkov f2ba54b62b A Galera-compliant database locking solution
A common scenario in database interaction is to check some values in
database and update them if some condition is met (or is not met). To
prevent race conditions in such scenarios it is recomended to isolate
appropriate transactions at read level, so two "select" operations are
not executed in parallel. This may be achieved either by modifying
transaction_isolation_level or by doing "selects" with a "for update"
keyword, which puts a lock on the entries being selected thus blocking
any other selects which may run in parallel transaction.

The problem is that SELECT FOR UPDATE is not fully supported in Galera
clusters which are a common tool for building HA openstack environments.
Such statements may have non-determenistic results - see [1] for more
details.

This patch intoruduces a simple exclusive lock mechanics: it executes a
simple insert or update operation into a special table. Any other
transactions attempting to do the same will block until the first one
completes in one way or another. This results in a simple but reliable
locking solution, which may be not as effecient as dedicated distributed
lock systems but still do its job nicely.
