We were resetting the tuple's HEAP_HOT_UPDATED flag as well as t_ctid on
WAL replay of a tuple-lock operation, which is incorrect when the tuple
is already updated.

Back-patch to 9.3.  The clearing of both header elements was there
previously, but since no update could be present on a tuple that was
being locked, it was harmless.
