MDEV-22042 Server crash in Item_field::print on ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON
When processing a query with a recursive CTE a temporary table is used for each recursive reference of the CTE. As any temporary table it uses its own mem-root for table definition structures. Due to specifics of the current implementation of ANALYZE stmt command this mem-root can be freed only at the very of query processing. Such deallocation of mem-root memory happens in close_thread_tables(). The function looks through the list of the tmp tables rec_tables attached to the THD of the query and frees corresponding mem-roots. If the query uses a stored function then such list is created for each query of the function. When a new rec_list has to be created the old one has to be saved and then restored at the proper moment. The bug occurred because only one rec_list for the query containing CTE was created. As a result close_thread_tables() freed tmp mem-roots used for rec_tables prematurely destroying some data needed for the output produced by the ANALYZE command.
