MDEV-27416 InnoDB hang in buf_flush_wait_flushed(), on log checkpointbb-10.5-MDEV-27416

InnoDB could sometimes hang when triggering a log checkpoint. This is
due to commit 7b1252c03d7131754d9503560fe507b33ca1f8b4 (MDEV-24278),
which introduced an untimed wait to buf_flush_page_cleaner().

The hang was noticed by occasional failures of IMPORT TABLESPACE tests,
such as innodb.innodb-wl5522, which would (unnecessarily) invoke
log_make_checkpoint() from row_import_cleanup().

The reason of the hang was that buf_flush_page_cleaner() would enter
untimed sleep despite buf_flush_sync_lsn being set. The exact failure
scenario is unclear, because buf_flush_sync_lsn should actually be
protected by buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. We prevent the hang by
invoking buf_pool.page_cleaner_set_idle(false) whenever we are
setting buf_flush_sync_lsn and signaling buf_pool.do_flush_list.

The bulk of these changes was originally developed as a preparation
for MDEV-26827, to invoke buf_flush_list() from fewer threads,
and tested on 10.6 by Matthias Leich.

This fix was tested by running 100 repetitions of 100 concurrent instances
of the test innodb.innodb-wl5522 on a RelWithDebInfo build, using ext4fs
and innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT on a SATA SSD with 4096-byte block size.
During the test, the call to log_make_checkpoint() in row_import_cleanup()
was present.

buf_flush_list(): Make static.

buf_flush_wait(): Wait for buf_pool.get_oldest_modification()
to reach a target, by work done in the buf_flush_page_cleaner.
If buf_flush_sync_lsn is going to be set, we will invoke
buf_pool.page_cleaner_set_idle(false).

buf_flush_ahead(): If buf_flush_sync_lsn or buf_flush_async_lsn
is going to be set and the page cleaner woken up, we will invoke
buf_pool.page_cleaner_set_idle(false).

buf_flush_wait_flushed(): Invoke buf_flush_wait().

buf_flush_sync(): Invoke recv_sys.apply() at the start in case
crash recovery is active. Invoke buf_flush_wait().

buf_flush_sync_batch(): A lower-level variant of buf_flush_sync()
that is only called by recv_sys_t::apply().

buf_flush_sync_for_checkpoint(): Do not trigger log apply
or checkpoint during recovery.

buf_dblwr_t::create(): Only initiate a buffer pool flush, not
a checkpoint.

row_import_cleanup(): Do not unnecessarily invoke log_make_checkpoint().
Invoking buf_flush_list_space() before starting to generate redo log
for the imported tablespace should suffice.

srv_prepare_to_delete_redo_log_file():
Set recv_sys.recovery_on in order to prevent
buf_flush_sync_for_checkpoint() from initiating a checkpoint
while the log is inaccessible. Remove a wait loop that is already
part of buf_flush_sync().
Do not invoke fil_names_clear() if the log is being upgraded,
because the FILE_MODIFY record is specific to the latest format.

create_log_file(): Clear recv_sys.recovery_on only after calling
log_make_checkpoint(), to prevent buf_flush_page_cleaner from
invoking a checkpoint.

innodb_shutdown(): Simplify the logic in mariadb-backup --prepare.

os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(): Update the function comment.
Apart from row_quiesce_table_start() during FLUSH TABLES...FOR EXPORT,
this is being called by buf_flush_list_space(), which is invoked
by ALTER TABLE...IMPORT TABLESPACE as well as some encryption operations.
