Description:
mysql_insert() at the end sets thd->count_cuted_fields to the default value.

   thd->count_cuted_fields= CHECK_FIELD_IGNORE;

When this insert is executed from inside a trigger it changes thd->count_cuted_fields settings of the top-level statement.

How to repeat:
create table t1 (id int not null);
create table t2 (id int not null);
insert t1 values (1),(2),(3);
update t1 set id=null;
create trigger t1_bu before update on t1 for each row insert into t2 values (3);
update t1 set id=null;

I am very surprised that the statement

UPDATE t1 SET id=NULL;

succeeds (it inserts ZERO's - at least in '' (empty) sql_mode).

this bug was found when I looked at why CHECK_FIELD_IGNORE is treated as CHECK_FIELD_ERROR_FOR_NULL.

Attached is a patch that fixes both problems.

      Bug#48525: trigger changes "Column 'id' cannot be null" behaviour
      
      CHECK_FIELD_IGNORE was treated as CHECK_FIELD_ERROR_FOR_NULL;
      UPDATE...SET...NULL on NOT NULL fields behaved differently after
      a trigger.
      
      Now distinguishes between IGNORE and ERROR_FOR_NULL and save/restores
      check-field options.
     @ mysql-test/r/trigger.result
        Show that UPDATE...SET...NULL on NOT NULL columns doesn't behave differently
        when run after a trigger.
     @ mysql-test/t/trigger.test
        Show that UPDATE...SET...NULL on NOT NULL columns doesn't behave differently
        when run after a trigger.
     @ sql/field_conv.cc
        CHECK_FIELD_IGNORE was treated as CHECK_FIELD_ERROR_FOR_NULL.
        Distinguish between the two.
     @ sql/sp_head.cc
        raise error as needed
     @ sql/sql_class.cc
        Save and restore check-fields options.
     @ sql/sql_class.h
        Make room so we can save check-fields options.
     @ sql/sql_insert.cc
        raise error as needed

Noted in 5.1.46, 5.5.5, 6.0.14 changelogs.

A trigger could change the behavior of assigning NULL to a NOT NULL
column.
