Description:
my_init() sets the default values for my_umask and my_umask_dir.  These affect programs other than mysqld, but in general client programs should use the system's default umask.  See bug #27789 for example and discussion.

How to repeat:
See bug #27789 for rationale.  Examine mysys/my_init.c for code details.

Suggested fix:
Default to using system umask values.  Set appropriate defaults for mysqld server in mysqld.cc, not in the common my_init() function.
