MDEV-25072: Livelock due to innodb_change_buffering_debug
buf_page_get_low(): Do not try to re-evict the page if it is multiply buffer-fixed. In commit 7cffb5f6 (MDEV-23399) a livelock was introduced. If multiple threads are concurrently requesting the same secondary index leaf page in buf_page_get_low() and innodb_change_buffering_debug is set, all threads would try to evict the page in a busy loop, never succeeding because the block is buffer-fixed by other threads. Thanks to Roel Van de Paar for reporting the original failure and Elena Stepanova for producing an "rr replay" trace.
