I don't understand.  Note that this is about replaying a tuple lock
operation; if the tuple we're locking had been updated by another
transaction, then during the lock operation we don't want to touch
either HOT_UPDATED or t_ctid, because they contain values that are valid
per the pre-existing update.  We are assuming that those values are
correctly set prior to this xlog routine touching it (the replay of the
update must have already set them.)
