It was probably supposed to, but since Hash_set is non-unique it didn't do
anything useful. That is we would get 10 MDL request with old code too.

MDL doesn't eliminate them, but rather clones compatible requests.
Performance wise it will be slower in certain cases, but since this is DDL
is performance that important?
