      Bug#36579 Dumping information about locks in use may lead to a server crash
      
      Dumping information about locks in use by sending a SIGHUP signal
      to the server or by invoking the "mysqladmin debug" command may
      lead to a server crash in debug builds or to undefined behavior in
      production builds.
      
      The problem was that a mutex that protects a lock object (THR_LOCK)
      might have been destroyed before the lock object was actually removed
      from the list of locks in use, causing a race condition with other
      threads iterating over the list. The solution is to destroy the mutex
      only after removing lock object from the list.
