Description:
With Falcon, it is possible to specify a tablespace for a specific partition in a CREATE TABLE statement, for example:

CREATE TABLE falconpart (pk integer) Engine=Falcon 
  PARTITION BY RANGE (`pk`) ( 
    PARTITION pa VALUES LESS THAN ( 9 ) TABLESPACE myspace1, 
    PARTITION pb VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE TABLESPACE myspace2
  );

If a specified tablespace (in this case myspace1 or myspace2) does not already exist, MySQL/Falcon returns the following error:

ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table 'test.falconpart' (errno: 1)

It would be more useful for a user to get a more specific error message, such as the one returned from an ALTER TABLE statement specifying a non-existent tablespace:

mysql> ALTER TABLE t1 TABLESPACE nospace;
ERROR 1669 (HY000): Tablespace 'nospace' doesn't exist

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE falconpart (pk integer) Engine=Falcon 
  PARTITION BY RANGE (`pk`) ( 
    PARTITION pa VALUES LESS THAN ( 9 ) TABLESPACE myspace1, 
    PARTITION pb VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE TABLESPACE myspace2
  );

                  tablespace in partition definition
      
      Partitioning handler create function didn't pass through
      error code from a storage engine, resulting in generic
      error message being returned.

QA review of committed patch:

Please change the test so that it follows the format outlined by suite/falcon/t/falcon_bug.template. Other than that the patch looks good from my perspective. Thanks for fixing!

A note has been added to the 6.0.9 changelog: 

Creating a FALCON table while specifying a specific tablespace and partition to be used for the table will fail if the specified tablespace does not already exist, returning a error indicating general table creation failure. The message has been updated to indicate that the failure is due to nonexistent tablespace.
