Description:
When using MRG_MyISAM , and have the cascade slaves, the third slave may crash.

It means there are 4 servers in the environment. Row-based binlog format are used.
M2 is the slave of M1;
M3 is the slave of M2;
M4 is the slave of M3;

Then we create MRG_MyISAM  table,and insert one row.

It is because the RBR requires record the table_map event before Rows_wirte event.
And the table_map event will list all the related tables , (t, t1, t2) in this case.

In sql_thread of M3, (t, t1, t2) is expanded to be ((t, t1, t2), t1, t2).
In M4, when replays this event, the rli.tables_to_lock will be the link as t->t1->t2->t1->t2
But because the first t1 is in part of  MRG_MyISAM, its m_tabledef is not initialized. This causes the M4 crash when testing compatibility (table_def::compatible_with).

How to repeat:
**Be sure the binlog format of M1 is row (which require M2 M3 M4 be the same)**
mysql> show create table t\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: t
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t` (
  `c` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `d` int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MRG_MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 INSERT_METHOD=LAST UNION=(`t1`,`t2`)
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> show create table t1\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: t1
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t1` (
  `c` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `d` int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> show create table t2\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: t2
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t2` (
  `c` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `d` int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
