MDEV-17938 ALTER TABLE reports ER_TABLESPACE_EXISTS after failed ALTER TABLE
There was a race condition in the error handling of ALTER TABLE when the table contains FULLTEXT INDEX. During the error handling of an erroneous ALTER TABLE statement, when InnoDB would drop the internally created tables for FULLTEXT INDEX, it could happen that one of the hidden tables was being concurrently accessed by a background thread. Because of this, InnoDB would defer the drop operation to the background. However, related to MDEV-13564 backup-safe TRUNCATE TABLE and its prerequisite MDEV-14585, we had to make the background drop table queue crash-safe by renaming the table to a temporary name before enqueueing it. This renaming was introduced in a follow-up of the MDEV-13407 fix. As part of this rename operation, we were unnecessarily parsing the current SQL statement, because the same rename operation could also be executed as part of ALTER TABLE via ha_innobase::rename_table(). If an ALTER TABLE statement was being refused due to incorrectly formed FOREIGN KEY constraint, then it could happen that the renaming of the hidden internal tables for FULLTEXT INDEX could also fail, triggering a host of error log messages, and causing a subsequent table-rebuilding ALTER TABLE operation to fail due to the tablespace already existing. innobase_rename_table(), row_rename_table_for_mysql(): Add the parameter use_fk for suppressing the parsing of FOREIGN KEY constraints. It will only be passed as use_fk=true by ha_innobase::rename_table(), which can be invoked as part of ALTER TABLE...ALGORITHM=COPY.
