Fixed core dump in alter table if ADD PARTITION fails

I didn't add a test case as to reproduce this we need to have a failed write in on of the engines. Bug found and bug fix verified while debugging S3 and partitions.

This looks *very* confusing, like you close the table only if it's *not* open. But then the whole if() is very confusing, as it closes in both branches, so the meaning of "close_table" is totally not clear. May be instead of this your fix you'd better cherry-pick 9c02b7d6670b069866 from MySQL? It removes close_table completely, so I expect it to work for S3 just as you wanted.

{ /* All instances of this table needs to be closed.
