Description of your changes

Fixes #141

According to mysql documentation executing FLUSH PRIVILEGES is only required If you modify the grant tables directly using statements such as INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE (which is not recommended), the changes have no effect on privilege checking until you either tell the server to reload the tables or restart it. (dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/privilege-changes.html). Other references:

I have:

  • Read and followed Crossplane's contribution process.
  • Run make reviewable to ensure this PR is ready for review.

How has this code been tested

The change has been running in our various dev and production environments for a few weeks now. We tried to break our database clusters by adding and removing lots of users concurrently and everything works as expected. Before removing the Flush Privileges call we had a lot of trouble in our replicated db setup which tried to protect itself from inconsistency by just shutting down after adding more then one user at the same time.

We are interested on this fix because we have issue with our percona xtradb cluster witch can be stuck because of FLUSH PRIVILEGES. Thanks in advance for the reviewer(s).

Ah sorry, missed that this would conflict with #171, this might even simplify it more.
