Description

## Bug Report

Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

### 1. Minimal reproduce step (Required)

```sql
CREATE TABLE A (id INT PRIMARY KEY, val INT NULL DEFAULT 2);
CREATE VIEW B AS SELECT id, val FROM A;
```

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

```
mysql> desc B;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | int(11) | NO | | NULL | |
| val | int(11) | YES | | 2 | |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.03 sec)
```

- The default value `2` should be returned
- The primary key flag `PRI` should not be returned (I'm not sure if this is suitable for all views)

### 3. What did you see instead (Required)

```
tidb> desc B;
+-------+---------+------+------+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+------+---------+-------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| val | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+---------+------+------+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
```

### 4. What is your TiDB version? (Required)

```
