This reverts commit bdc5548cad
that introduced a work-around to ha_innobase::delete_table()
for avoiding failures when trying to remove table partitions.
This work-around (of not removing statistics in case of a locking
conflict) would occasionally cause a failure of the test
parts.part_supported_sql_func_innodb:
