Commit 2fd8685 simplified the checking of modified attributes that
takes place within heap_update(). This included a micro-optimization
affecting pages marked PD_PAGE_FULL: don't even try to use HOT to save a
few cycles on determining HOT safety. The assumption was that it won't
work out this time around, since it can't have worked out last time
around.
Remove the micro-optimization. It could only ever save cycles that are
consumed by the vast majority of heap_update() calls, which hardly seems
worth the added complexity. It also seems quite possible that there are
workloads that will do worse over time by repeated application of the
micro-optimization, despite saving some cycles on average, in the short
term.
