[Rails5] Permit concurrent loads
What does this MR do?
Rails 5 introduced a new (and safer) autoload mechanism which uses locking when loading missing constants. Under some circumstances it's possible that a deadlock occurs in multi-threaded environment (especially when running capybara tests)
To avoid these deadlocks, concurrent load is enabled when loading policies - we ere hitting timeout in this case: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/48263
Note that autoloading is enabled only in development or test envs (not in production).
Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
