Description:
The mysql_fix_privilege_table script distributed with MySQL binaries does not use options specified in the [mysqld] group of the user's option file.

This results in options such as "socket" being ignored. In this case, the script will use the default, which is not helpful.

How to repeat:
Run ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables from a MySQL installation that has a custom option file and a socket file in the non-default location.

Suggested fix:
Add the "mysqld" group to the my_print_defaults call in the mysql_fix_privilege_tables script.
