21913: DATE_FORMAT() Crashes mysql server if I use it through mysql-connector-j driver.

Variable character_set_results can legally be NULL (for "no conversion.")
This could result in a NULL deref that crashed the server.  Fixed.

(Although ran some additional precursory tests to see whether I could break
anything else, but no breakage so far.)
