Sergey Vojtovich 06fa1ef4f4 BUG#11763712 - 56458: KILLING A FLUSH TABLE FOR A MERGE/CHILD ...

CRASHES SERVER

Flushing of MERGE table or one of its child tables, which was
locked by flushing thread using LOCK TABLES, might have caused
crashes or assertion failures if the thread failed to reopen
child or parent table.
Particularly, this might have happened when another connection
killed this FLUSH TABLE statement/connection.
Also this problem might have occurred when we failed to reopen
MERGE table or one of its children when executing DDL statement
under LOCK TABLES.

The problem was caused by the fact that reopen_tables() might
have failed to reopen child table but still tried to reopen,
reattach children for and re-lock its parent. Vice versa it
might have failed to reopen parent but kept references from
children to parent around. Since reopen_tables() closes table
it has failed to reopen and therefore frees all associated
memory such dangling references led to crashes when followed.

This patch solves this problem by ensuring that we always close
parent table and all its children if we fail to reopen this
table or one of its children. Same happens if we fail to reattach
children to parent.

Affects 5.1 only.
