Description:
After recent refactoring of column privilege checking, this field is reduced to a debug-only field, and has been used solely in debug asserts to validate that new behavior is equivalent to old behavior. As time goes, maintaining this field becomes cumbersome, since its sole value is to maintain compatibility with old behavior.

Hence, the reasonable thing to do is to remove it.

How to repeat:
NA, code cleanup.

Suggested fix:
Remove GRANT_INFO::want_privilege and TABLE_LIST::set_want_privilege().

Posted by developer:
 
Fixed in 8.0.3.

Code cleanup. No changelog entry needed.
