Description:
When try to load a plugin for an already-loaded name, resulting in the original name to get lost.

How to repeat:
1. Compile a loadable plugin into the server.
2. Start the server, then try to install the plugin: install plugin ...
3. select engine, support from information_schema.engines; 
    you will not see the original plugin anymore.

Suggested fix:
The original one should continue to work.
