message:
MDEV-7100: InnoDB error monitor might unnecessary wait log_sys mutex

Analysis: InnoDB error monitor is responsible to call every second
sync_arr_wake_threads_if_sema_free() to wake up possible hanging
threads if they are missed in mutex_signal_object. This is not
possible if error monitor itself is on mutex/semaphore wait. We
should avoid all unnecessary mutex/semaphore waits on error monitor.
Currently error monitor calls function buf_flush_stat_update()
that calls log_get_lsn() function and there we will try to get
log_sys mutex. Better, solution for error monitor is that in
buf_flush_stat_update() we will try to get lsn with
mutex_enter_nowait() and if we did not get mutex do not update
the stats.

Fix: Use log_get_lsn_nowait() function on buf_flush_stat_update()
function. If returned lsn is 0, we do not update flush stats.
log_get_lsn_nowait() will use mutex_enter_nowait() and if
we get mutex we return a correct lsn if not we return 0.
