MDEV-15584: Do not invoke open(dir=NULL)
On Linux, <fcntl.h> declares open(2) as having a nonnull first argument. In GCC 8, if a function with nonnull argument is called, that argument will be silently assumed to nonnull along the same code path. Hence, later nullness checks for this argument can be optimized away. Similar to MDEV-15587, the fix is to ensure that functions with nonnull arguments are not being called with NULL. This bug caused a crash in mysqlbinlog, which was invoking create_temp_file() with the argument dir=NULL. The affected test was binlog.binlog_mysqlbinlog_base64. It would display the following message before crashing: mysqlbinlog: O_TMPFILE is not supported on (null) (disabling future attempts) Segmentation fault
