Description:
Bug 78777 (where idle threads showed a state as 'cleaning up') was fixed in 5.6.35, but the fix causes different behavior depending on whether you are using performance schema or not - the State data is different.

With performance schema:
show processlist;
Id      User    Host    db      Command Time    State   Info    Rows examined   Rows sent       Tid
2       root    localhost       test    Query   0       init    show processlist        0       0       411285

Without performance schema:
show processlist;
Id      User    Host    db      Command Time    State   Info    Rows examined   Rows sent       Tid
2       root    localhost       test    Query   0       NULL    show processlist        0       0       414212

How to repeat:
1. Build with performance schema (cmake -DWITHOUT_PERFSCHEMA_STORAGE_ENGINE=1; make -j32)
2. Start the server
3. Connect to the server
4. Issue a "SHOW PROCESSLIST;" command
5. Build without performance schema (cmake; make -j32)
6. Start the server
7. Connect to the server
8. Issue a "SHOW PROCESSLIST;" command

Suggested fix:
The problem is that the current location of setting the THD's state to INIT is occurring in code that is only executed via performance schema (net_after_header_psi()) and the code that calls this function doesn't appear to have access to the THD pointer.

I solved the problem by adding a call to "THD_STAGE_INFO(thd, stage_init);" in do_command() (sql/sql_parse.cc) after the packet has been fully read, but I don't know if this is the best location.
