MDEV-17177 Crash in Item_func_in::cleanup() for SELECT executed via
prepared statement The method Item_func_in::build_clone() that builds a clone item for an Item_func_in item first calls a generic method Item_func::build_item() that builds the the clones for the arguments of the Item_func_in item to be cloned, creates a copy of the Item_func_in object and attaches the clones for the arguments to this copy. Then the method Item_func_in::build_clone() makes the copy fully independent on the copied object in order to guarantee a proper destruction of the clone. The fact is the copy of the Item_func_in object is registered as any other item object and should be destructed as any other item object. If the method Item_func::build_item fails to build a clone of an argument then it returns 0. In this case no copy of the Item_func_in object should be created. Otherwise the finalizing actions for this copy would not be performed and the copy would remain in a state that would prevent its proper destruction. The code of Item_func_in::build_clone() before this patch created the copy of the Item_func_in object before cloning the argument items. If this cloning failed the server crashed when trying to destruct the copy item. The code of Item_row::build_clone() was changed similarly to the code of Item_func::build_clone though this code could not cause any problems.
