Description:
It's impossible to create a trigger or a view without explicitly
specifying DEFINER-clause if the server is running with
--skip-grant-tables option.

How to repeat:
1. Start the server with --skip-grant-tables (./mysqld --skip-grant-tables)
2. Check with mysql client:

mysql> create trigger trg1 before insert on t1 for each row set @a = 1;
ERROR 1446 (HY000): Definer is not fully qualified

mysql> create view v1 as select * from t1;
ERROR 1446 (HY000): Definer is not fully qualified

mysql> create definer=a@b trigger trg1 before insert on t1 for each row set @a = 1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> create definer=a@b view v1 as select * from t1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

Suggested fix:
The problem seems to be in sql_parse.cc::get_default_definer() function.
When server is running with --skip-grant-tables privilege host is NULL and
this function treats this as an error.

Noted in 5.0.20, 5.1.8 changelogs.

If the server was started with the
<option>--skip-grant-tables</option> option, it was impossible
to create a trigger or a view without explicitly specifying a 
<literal>DEFINER</literal> clause. (Bug #16777)
