Slow performance for IN subquery and UNION

[Sveta Smirnova]

Description:
If I use IN subquery which contains UNION of 3 integers performance is slower than if I wrap same subquery in another select.

E.g.

select id from events where id in (select 60241922 union all select 60241923 union all select 60241924); - slow query

select id from events where id in (select * from (select 60241922 union all select 60241923 union all select 60241924) v); - fast query

How to repeat:
In 5.7.12:

flush status;
select now(6);
now(6)
2016-05-18 00:33:11.453692
select id from events where id in (select 60241922 union all select 60241923 union all select 60241924);
id
60241922
60241923
60241924
select now(6);
now(6)
2016-05-18 00:33:11.458543
show status like 'Handler%';

Full test case will be attached soon.

Suggested fix:
Optimize first query same way as second one
