Description:
If I try to insert into a partitioned blackhole table, crash.

How to repeat:
mysql> create table tb (s1 int) engine=blackhole partition by hash (s1);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> insert into tb values (0);
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

I was able to reproduce this using a fresh clone of 5.1

This error seems to be due to trying to lock the table (file) and not handling a lock
properly for a blackhole type table since there is no file for it. (theory). This is what
I get using gdb/ddd:

Dump of assembler code from 0x852bf1c to 0x852c01c:

The code line where it segfaults:

 int error;
 if (!mp->file)   <---
