Description:
This bug is follow up of bug #26703 where the DROP DATABASE fails on mysql50 legacy tables with backticks.

If DROP DATABASE fails, the connection is loosing the selected database, but the client still shows the old database as selected.

How to repeat:
root@localhost [(none)]> create database t1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

root@localhost [(none)]> use t1;
Database changed
root@localhost [t1]> create table `#mysql50#abc``def` ( id int );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)

root@localhost [t1]> drop database t1;
ERROR 1010 (HY000): Error dropping database (can't rmdir './t1', errno: 39)
root@localhost [t1]> drop table `#mysql50#abc``def`;
ERROR 1046 (3D000): No database selected
root@localhost [t1]> use t1;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
root@localhost [t1]> drop table `#mysql50#abc``def`;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

root@localhost [t1]> drop database t1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Suggested fix:
Either keep the database as selected (it still exists) or make the client show (none) for the db-name.

This is actually a server problem, as the proposed patch shows. Re-opening so a complete patch (with test case) will get done.

  A fix for Bug#26704: Failing DROP DATABASE brings
  mysql-client out of sync.
  
  The problem was that we changed current database w/o caring
  whether it was dropped successfully or not.
  
  The fix is not to change current database if we failed to drop it.
