Description:
5.1-opt crashes on select from I_S.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS because of uninitialized variable.
In function
int
ha_innobase::get_foreign_key_list(THD *thd, List<FOREIGN_KEY_INFO> *f_key_list)

we have the following code:

         if (foreign->referenced_index &&
              foreign->referenced_index->name)
	    f_key_info.referenced_key_name = thd_make_lex_string(
		    thd, f_key_info.referenced_key_name,
		    foreign->referenced_index->name,
		    strlen(foreign->referenced_index->name), 1);

If referenced table is dropped(foreign->referenced_index=0)  then
f_key_info.referenced_key_name field may be uninitialized. It
leads to crash in get_referential_constraints_record(),sql_show.cc

How to repeat:
Test case from the bug#35108  report:

create table p1(id int primary key) engine = Innodb;

create table c1(pid int, foreign key (pid) references p1(id)) engine = Innodb;

select * 
from information_schema.referential_constraints 
where constraint_schema = schema();

set foreign_key_checks = 0;

drop table p1;

select * 
from information_schema.referential_constraints 
where constraint_schema = schema();
