Description

TODO: fill description here

How can this PR be tested?

TODO: modify the automated test suite to verify that the PR causes MariaDB to
behave as intended. Consult the documentation on
"Writing good test cases".
In many cases, this will be as simple as modifying one .test and one .result
file in the mysql-test/ subdirectory. Without automated tests, future regressions
in the expected behavior can't be automatically detected and verified.

If the changes are not amenable to automated testing, please explain why not and
carefully describe how to test manually.
