Description:
When using a binary where partitioning support is compiled in, it will crash if one uses a partitioned table, when partitioning is disabled.

Currently the workaround is to do ALTER TABLE t1 REMOVE PARTITIONING before restarting it without partitioning support.

How to repeat:
use a build with partitioning support
./mtr --start-and-exit
CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT) PARTITION BY HASH (a) PARTITIONS 2;
(shut down the server)
./mtr --start-dirty --skip-partition
SELECT * FROM t1;

Suggested fix:
When opening the frm-file, verify that the plugin/engine/partitioning is supported before doing partitioning related calls.

      Bug#39893: Crash if select on a partitioned table, when partitioning is disabled
      
      Problem was that it tried to run partitioning function calls when
      opening a partitioned table, when it was explicitly disabled.
      
      Solution is to check if the partitioning plugin is ready to use before
      using any partitioning specific calls.

Documented in the 5.1.39 changelog as follows:

      Attempting to access a partitioned table when partitioning support 
      was disabled in a MySQL server binary compiled with partitioning 
      support caused the server to crash.

Set status as NDI, waiting for push to 5.4 tree.
