Subject: [PATCH v2] Allow HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY and HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED combination.

From: Julien Rouhaud <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 00:06:34 +0800

This combination of hint bits was previously detected as a form of corruption,
but it can be obtained with some mix of SELECT ... FOR UPDATE and UPDATE
queries.
