[tarantool-patches] [PATCH] table: fix incorrect __metatable handling

[Oleg Babin]

From: Oleg Babin <babinoleg@mail.ru>

Closes #4340

Before this patch we get metatabe of original table
using "getmetatable" function. It leads to the error
if original table contained __metatable.
To fix this problem getmetatable was replaced to debug.getmetatable
