Description:
Create view appears to generate invalid builtin geospatial function names in version 5.6. This does not occur in version 5.5.
point => st_point
polygon => st_multipoint
etc.
How to repeat:
mysql> create view test as select point(1,1);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test;
ERROR 1356 (HY000): View 'wordpress.test' references invalid table(s) or column(s) or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them
mysql> show create view test;

Suggested fix:
Restore version 5.5 behaviour - recognise and correctly handle builtin geospatial function names.
Running the same test in version 5.5:
mysql> create view test as select point(1,1);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from test;
+---------------------------+
| point(1,1) |
