MDEV-32155 MariaDB Server crashes with ill-formed partitions
for ALTER_PARTITION_ADMIN (CHECK/REPAIR/LOAD INDEX/CACHE INDEX/etc) partitioning marks affected partitions with PART_ADMIN state. The assumption is that the server will call a corresponding method of ha_partition which will reset the state back to PART_NORMAL. This assumption is invalid, the server is not required to do so, indeed, in CHECK ... FOR UPGRADE the server might decide early that the table is fine and won't call ha_partition::check(), leaving partitions in the wrong state. It will thus leak into the next statement confusing the engine about what it is doing (see ha_partition::create_handler_file()), causing a crash later. Let's force all partitions into PART_NORMAL state after the admin operation succeeded, in case it did so without consulting the engine.
