Problem described in this bug report affects MyISAM tables only.

Running mysqld --flush instructs mysqld to sync all changes to disk
after each SQL statement. It worked well for INSERT and DELETE
statements, but it did sync for UPDATE only in case if there was
index change (change of colum that has an index). If no updated column
has an index, data wasn't synced to disk.

This fix makes UPDATE statement to sync data to disk even if there is
no index change (that is only data change) and mysqld is run with
--flush option.
