How to repeat:
rm -Rf /tmp/vardir2
mkdir /tmp/vardir2
./mysqld --no-defaults --basedir=/mysql-5.6.11/ --datadir
=/tmp/vardir2 --innodb_log_group_home_dir=/tmp/vardir2/master-data --core

Suggested fix:
Provide better output (the problem is that the directory does not exist), and don't assert on '0'.

Hi Umesh, D4 for a crash?

Noted in 5.6.14, 5.7.2 changelogs:

"In debug builds, an assertion failure would occur if
"innodb_log_group_home_dir" does not exist. Instead of an assertion,
"InnoDB" now aborts with an error message if "innodb_log_group_home_dir"
does not exist."

Thank you for the bug report.
