Fix oversight in EvalPlanQualFetch: after failing to lock a tuple because
someone else has just updated it, we have to set priorXmax to that tuple's xmax (ie, the XID of the other xact that updated it) before looping back to examine the next tuple. Obviously, the next tuple in the update chain should have that XID as its xmin, not the same xmin as the preceding tuple that we had been trying to lock. The mismatch would cause the EvalPlanQual logic to decide that the tuple chain ended in a deletion, when actually there was a live tuple that should have been found. I inserted this error when recently adding logic to EvalPlanQual to make it lock tuples before returning them (as opposed to the old method in which the lock would occur much later, causing a great deal of work to be wasted if we only then discover someone else updated it). Sigh. Per today's report from Takahiro Itagaki of inconsistent results during pgbench runs.
