    Bug#17222452 - SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT A,B) INCORRECTLY COUNTS ROWS · 6a23a444

    	       CONTAINING NULL
    
    Problem:-
    In MySQL, We can obtain the number of distinct expression
    combinations that do not contain NULL by giving a list of 
    expressions in COUNT(DISTINCT).
    However rows with NULL values are
    incorrectly included in the count when loose index scan is 
    used.
    
    Analysis:-
    In case of loose index scan, we check whether the field is null or 
    not and increase the count in Item_sum_count::add().
    But there we are checking for the first field in COUNT(DISTINCT), 
    not for every field. This is causing an incorrect result.
    
    Solution:-
    Check all field in Item_sum_count::add(), whether there values 
    are null or not. Then only increment the count.
