In commit 244fdc43 (MDEV-29438)
we made sure that if the preceding record is the page infimum record,
no more than 8 bytes will be read from it. But, if the data payload of
the being-inserted record is less than 8 bytes (this can happen in
secondary indexes), we must not compare all 8 bytes.

This was caught by a failure of the test gcol.innodb_virtual_basic
under MemorySanitizer and some builds with AddressSanitizer.
