Description:
mysqlbackup returns error if no option specified, but tries to create backup and connect to mysqld anyway

How to repeat:
$$MYSQLBACKUP
mysqlbackup: Starting mysqlbackup with following arguments:
/users/ssmirnova/blade12/src/meb-3.5.next/meb-innobackup-c/mysqlbackup  

mysqlbackup: Error: incorrect number of command line arguments, use  --help for usage
mysqlbackup: Unique backup id generated for the current backup operation is 12878271022938490 

mysqlbackup: Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)
mysqlbackup: Warning: Connection to MySQL Server failed for Backup Logging

Suggested fix:
Exit after " Error: incorrect number of command line arguments, use  --help for usage"
