The SE API requires mysql to notify the storage engine that
it's going to read certain tables at the beginning of the 
statement (by calling start_stmt(), store_lock() or
external_lock()).
These are typically called by the lock_tables(). 
However SHOW CREATE TABLE is not pre-locking the tables
because it's not expected to access the data at all.
But for some view definitions (that include comparing a
date/datetime/timestamp column to a string returning
scalar subquery) the JOIN::prepare may still access data
when materializing the scalar non-correlated subquery
in Arg_comparator::can_compare_as_dates().
Fixed by not materializing the subquery when the function
is called in a SHOW/EXPLAIN/CREATE VIEW
