Description:
In GRANT and REVOKE statements, ALL and ALL PRIVILEGES
should be synonymous.  However, this statement works:

REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION FROM 'user';

and this statement does not:

REVOKE ALL, GRANT OPTION FROM 'user';

How to repeat:
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'nosuchuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
REVOKE ALL, GRANT OPTION FROM 'nosuchuser'@'localhost';
-- this will fail
REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION FROM 'nosuchuser'@'localhost';
-- this will succeed
