Description:
I traced the overhead for shutdown and one source of latency was a few seconds of stalls in srv_master_thread where nothing was done when the thread should have been flushing dirty pages. The problem is;
1) sleep is done in the one second loop and the "goto background_loop:" is done because srv_shutdown_state > 0
2) after jumping to srv_shutdown_state the "goto loop:' is executed because srv_activity_count != old_activity_count 

How to repeat:
instrument code in srv_master_thread on a busy OLTP server, shutdown mysqld

Suggested fix:
Skip sleep in the one second loop when srv_shutdown_state != 0

Move the "goto background_loop:" in the one second loop below the code that does some work in the loop (let it flush dirty pages)

srv_activity_count != old_activity_count and os_thread_sleep is done, ... repeat

Added a changelog entry for 5.1.72, 5.5.34, 5.6.14, 5.7.2:

The "srv_master_thread" background thread, which monitors server activity
and performs activities such as page flushing when the server is inactive
or in a shutdown state, runs on a one second delay loop.
"srv_master_thread" would fail to check if the server is in a shutdown
state before sleeping.

  Bug#13417564 SKIP SLEEP IN SRV_MASTER_THREAD WHEN 
               SHUTDOWN IS IN PROGRESS 
  
  PROBLEM
  -------
   In the background thread srv_master_thread() we have a 
   a one second delay loop which will continuously monitor
   server activity .If the server is inactive (with out any
   user activity) or in a shutdown state we do some background
   activity like flushing the changes.In the current code
   we are not checking if server is in shutdown state before
   sleeping for one second.
  
  FIX
  ---
  If server is in shutdown state ,then dont go to one second
  sleep.
