innodb_extra_undoslots option is disabled error

[Vadim Tkachenko]

Percona Server may complain

"innodb_extra_undoslots option is disabled but it was enabled before"

after upgrade from MySQL,
but innodb_extra_undoslots never used.

It seems to detect uncleared area of builtin InnoDB.
(builtin InnoDB doesn't clear unused area of the page)

OK...

more exact check is needed.
I will try to implement it.

The first aid for the bug have been pushed

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~percona-dev/percona-server/release-5.1.52-12/revision/137
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~percona-dev/percona-server/release-5.1.51-12/revision/135

The first aid is to pass 0 also at least as not used.
The first aid pass if the extended slots area filled with 0, but not pass with other values.
