Bug #35108 SELECT FROM REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS crashes

Description:
A select on information_schema.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS crashes the server on windows if the parent table in a foreign key was dropped.

The problem could not be repeated on linux

How to repeat:
create table p1(id int primary key) engine = Innodb;

create table c1(pid int, foreign key (pid) references p1(id)) engine = Innodb;

select * 
from information_schema.referential_constraints 
where constraint_schema = schema();

set foreign_key_checks = 0;

drop table p1;

select * 
from information_schema.referential_constraints 
where constraint_schema = schema();

Suggested fix:
Don't crash

Verified on 5.1.24 source.
