ib_cursor_truncate commits transaction but doesn't release schema lock

[Stewart Smith]

I've found that ib_cursor_truncate currently commits the transaction on success.

from api0api.c:
/* This function currently commits the transaction
on success. */
err = ddl_truncate_table(table, trx);

which isn't documented (except in the source :)

BUT, it doesn't release the schema lock... so unlike other DDL ops on success you have to release the schema lock yourself.

it'd be great if ib_cursor_truncate() was a bit more consistent with the rest of the DDL api and the user called commit (which released the schema lock).

embedded_innodb Drizzle plugin will need to be fixed when this bug is fixed.
