1. Minimal reproduce step (Required)

1. Create a table: create table ht(a int, b varchar(10), index idx_b (b)) partition by hash(a) partitions 3;
2. Insert some data: insert into ht values (1, "a"), (2, "b"), (3, "c");
3. Check the meta:

mysql> select * from mysql.stats_meta;
+--------------------+----------+--------------+-------+----------+
| version            | table_id | modify_count | count | snapshot |
+--------------------+----------+--------------+-------+----------+

| 445359571104169998 |      104 |            1 |     1 |        0 |
| 445359571104170003 |      105 |            1 |     1 |        0 |
| 445359571104170003 |      102 |            3 |     3 |        0 |
+--------------------+----------+--------------+-------+----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

4. Increase the partitions number to 5: alter table ht partition by hash(a) partitions 5;
5. Check the meta again:

mysql> select * from mysql.stats_meta;

2. What did you expect to see? (Required)

1. Update the modify_count and count for the new tables correctly.
2. Drop the old stats.
