    Bug#16581: deadlock: server and client both read from connection in · 0abc107c

    Concurrent execution of SELECT involing at least two INFORMATION_SCHEMA
    tables, DROP DATABASE statement and DROP TABLE statement could have
    resulted in stalled connection for this SELECT statement.
    
    The problem was that for the first query of a join there was a race
    between select from I_S.TABLES and DROP DATABASE, and the error (no
    such database) was prepared to be send to the client, but the join
    processing was continued.  On second query to I_S.COLUMNS there was a
    race with DROP TABLE, but this error (no such table) was downgraded to
    warning, and thd->net.report_error was reset.  And so neither result
    nor error was sent to the client.
    
    The solution is to stop join processing once it is clear we are going
    to report a error, and also to downgrade to warnings file system errors
    like 'no such database' (unless we are in the 'SHOW' command), because
    I_S is designed not to use locks and the query to I_S should not abort
    if something is dropped in the middle.
    
    No test case is provided since this bug is a result of a race, and is
    timing dependant.  But we test that plain SHOW TABLES and SHOW COLUMNS
    give a error if there is no such database or a table respectively.
    
    
    mysql-test/r/show_check.result:
      Add result for the test that SHOW TABLES and SHOW COLUMNS give a error
      if there is no such database or a table respectively.
    mysql-test/t/show_check.test:
      Add test case that SHOW TABLES and SHOW COLUMNS give a error
      if there is no such database or a table respectively.
    sql/mysql_priv.h:
      Remove prototype of mysql_find_files(), which is made static under
      find_files() name.
    sql/sql_show.cc:
      Rename mysql_find_files() to find_files() and make it static.
      Return FIND_FILES_OK for success, FIND_FILES_OOM for out of memory,
      and FIND_FILES_DIR for directory reading error.
      Downgrade error to warning in get_all_tables() if it is a
      FIND_FILES_DIR error, and we are not in the 'SHOW' command.
      Once 'result' is set to 1 in get_schema_tables_result(), there's no
      need in continuing iterations, as we are about to return a error.
