Show_db_priv allows to see databases you have NO privileges for.
If you have some privileges for some database you will be able to see it
independent on Show_db_priv. And above you have global
Create_tmp_table_priv and Lock_tables_priv - that is you have these
privileges in ALL databases, thus you see all databases.
