Applied the fix for bug #54235 taken from one of the mysql trees.

The fix aligns join_null_complements() with join_matching_records()
making both call generate_full_extensions().
There should not be any difference between how the WHERE clause
is applied to NULL-complemented records from a partial join and how
it is applied to other partially joined records:the latter happens in
join_matching_records(), precisely in generate_full_extensions().
