Description:
While initializing the data dictionary, innobase_dict_init_files() is called. If this method fails, the server shuts down without stopping innodb properly.

How to repeat:
Run mtr test log_based_recovery with ASAN.

Suggested fix:
Call innobase_shutdown() if innobase_dict_init_files() fails.

Seems like innodb_shutdown() is indeed being called after the failure in init_files(). However, the problem is that the initial failure happens when innodb calls srv_start() in innodb_init_files(), and hence does err out before innodb_inited is set. Then, when innodb_shutdown() is called, the code which cleans up only when innodb_inited is set, will not be called, leaving innodb_shutdown() essentially as a no-op. Transferring this bug report to innodb.
