Description:
The super_read_only variable new setting state is being visible prematurely when SET GLOBAL command is awaiting.
Interestingly, the read_only variable works as expected.
How to repeat:
Install simple semi-sync master-slave setup.
Then, set the rpl_semi_sync_master_timeout high enough and block network for replication, so that any write will wait.

As seen above, even though the set global super_read_only=1 was waiting on global read lock, the variable was already showing as enabled, even though it wasn't yet active, as the 3rd session could initiate another insert (it did not return an error).
Same test with read_only shows that the variable is still disabled when waiting:

Suggested fix:
The super_read_only state should be updated properly and not prematurely as it is now.
