Description:
impossible to use VIEW after locking it with LOCK TABLES query. 

How to repeat:
mysql> create table t1 (a int); 
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec) 
 
mysql> create view v1 as select * from t1; 
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) 
 
mysql> lock tables t1 read, v1 read; 
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) 
 
mysql> select * from v1; 
ERROR 1100 (HY000): Table 'v1' was not locked with LOCK TABLES

We made workaround which allow to use views during LOCK TABLES, real fix will be 
easy to make after table/view descripror cache will be made.

Tomash, please fix it by emitting the following error message:
LOCK TABLE v1;
ERROR: v1 is not a base table and can not be locked with LOCK TABLES.

I'm not sure if we should ever allow LOCK TABLE statement for views: LOCK is an operation with a physical data object, VIEW does not seem to match this definition.

Trudy, PeterG: please let me know if you disagree with my decision.

Fixed in 5.1. Needs a test case. Might be broken.
