There was a bug in JOIN::make_notnull_conds_for_range_scans() when
clearing TABLE->tmp_set, which was used to mark fields that could not be
null.
This function was only used if 'not_null_range_scan=on' is set.
The effect was that tmp_set contained a 'random value' and this caused
the optimizer to think that some fields could not be null.
FLUSH TABLES clears tmp_set and because of this things worked temporarily.
Fixed by clearing tmp_set properly.
