This assertion fails when the --slave-load-tmpdir is not properly defined (e.g.

How to repeat:
cat rpl_slave_load_in.test:
---------------------------

connection master;

create table t1(a int not null auto_increment, b int, primary key(a));
load data infile '../../std_data/rpl_loaddata.dat' into table t1;

run:
----

./mtr --slave-load-tmpdir=/root rpl_slave_load_in

Suggested fix:
Check the return of function cleanup_load_tmpdir() in log_event.cc.

      BUG#42861 Assigning invalid directories to --slave-load-tmpdir crashes the slave
      
      Compiling with debug and assinging an invalid directory to --slave-load-tmpdir
      was crashing the slave due to the following assertion DBUG_ASSERT(! is_set() || can_overwrite_status).
      
      This assertion assumes that a thread can throw one error before stoping its execution unless the
      overwrite flag (i.e. can_overwrite_status) is true. The cleanup function however was failing and an 
      error was being thrown by my_dir and the replication thread was not aborting the execution.
      
      To fix the problem we propagate the error from the cleanup function until it reaches a point in which
      the replication code can report the error and stop the execution.

      This assertion assumes that a thread can changing its state once (i.e. ok,

      unless the overwrite flag (i.e. can_overwrite_status) is true.
      
      The cleanup function however was being failing and an error thrown by
      my_dir and the replication SQL thread was not aborting its execution.
      
      To fix the problem we check the directory before starting the replication.

      Bug #42861 Assigning invalid directories to --slave-load-tmpdir crashes the slave
      
      Compiling with debug and assigning an invalid directory to --slave-load-tmpdir
      was crashing the slave due to the following assertion DBUG_ASSERT(! is_set() ||
      can_overwrite_status). This assertion assumes that a thread can change its
      state once (i.e. ok,error, etc) before aborting, cleaning/resuming or completing
      its execution unless the overwrite flag (i.e. can_overwrite_status) is true.
      
      The Append_block_log_event::do_apply_event which is responsible for creating
      temporary file(s) was not cleaning the thread state. Thus a failure while
      trying to create a file in an invalid temporary directory was causing the crash.
      
      To fix the problem we check if the temporary directory is valid before starting
      the SQL Thread and reset the thread state before creating a file in
      Append_block_log_event::do_apply_event.
