      DDL locks acquired outside ShardingDDLCoordinator infrastructure does not properly synchronize with other DDL operations in case of failovers/stepdowns.

      Recovery of DDL locks for Sharding DDL coordinator works in the following way:

      1. Some sharding DDL coordinators starts and acquire their respective DDL locks
      2. The primary shard of the database stepdown
      3. A new primary of the primary shard is elected and starts the recovery of the interrupted Sharding DDL coordinators
      4. The ShardingDDLCoordinator service enters into RECOVERY state
      5. All attempt to create new coordinators will wait until the service complete the recovery
      6. Once all the coordinators have been recovered and reacquired their DDL locks, the ShardingDDLCoordinator service move to RECOVERED state.
      7. Creation of new coordinators is unblocked.

      DDL locks acquired outside the ShardingDDLCoordinator infrastructure does not wait for the recovery of DDL locks acquired before the stepdown.

      We should ensure that DDL locks can be acquired only after all DDL locks acquired from the previous primary node have been recovered.
