Description:
This bug is same as bug#45154, except that is only affects ndbmtd
(i.e multi threaded data node), in which a check was missing
causing data-node to try to access non-valid fragment when running undo
during restart.

The problem can only occur if creating table with lots of partition,
dropping it, and create a new table with fewer partitions.

How to repeat:
Seen in autotest

Suggested fix:
Check lsn before looking up fragment-record.

Documented fix in the NDB-7.0.21 and 7.1.10 changelogs as follows:

        When using multi-threaded data nodes, an NDB table created 
        with a very large value for the MAX_ROWS option could--if
        this table was dropped and a new table with fewer partitions,
        but having the same table ID, was created--cause ndbmtd to 
        crash when performing a system restart. This was because the 
        server attempted to examine each partition whether or not it 
        actually existed.

        This issue is the same as that reported in Bug#45154, except
        that the current issue is specific to ndbmtd, rather than
        ndbd.

Closed.
