BUG#54989 - With null_audit installed, server hangs on an

            attempt to install a plugin twice

Server crashes when [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN fails (returns an
error) and general log is disabled and there are audit
plugins interested in MYSQL_AUDIT_GENERAL_CLASS. 

When audit event is triggered, audit subsystem acquires interested
plugins by walking through plugin list. Evidently plugin list
iterator protects plugin list by acquiring LOCK_plugin, see
plugin_foreach_with_mask().

On the other hand [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN is acquiring LOCK_plugin
rather for a long time.

When audit event is triggered during [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN, plugin
list iterator acquires the same lock (within the same thread)
second time.

Repeatable only with general_log disabled, because general_log
triggers MYSQL_AUDIT_GENERAL_LOG event, which acquires audit
plugins before [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN acquired LOCK_plugin.

With this fix we pre-acquire audit plugins for events that
may potentially occur during [UN]INSTALL PLUGIN.

This hack should be removed when LOCK_plugin is fixed so it
protects only what it supposed to protect.

No test case for this fix - we do not have facility to test
audit plugins yet.

  Move "acquire audit plugin" logics to a separate
  function.
