  message:
    Fix Bug#56340 innodb updates index stats too frequently after non-index updates

    This is a simple optimization issue. All stats are related to only indexed
    columns, index size or number of rows in the whole table. UPDATEs that touch
    only non-indexed columns cannot affect stats and we can avoid calling the
    function row_update_statistics_if_needed() which may result in unnecessary I/O.

    Approved by:	Marko (rb://466)

In addition to the above message: we know that
row_update_cascade_for_mysql() (the other place where
row_update_statistics_if_needed is called) always updates indexed
columns (FK-related), so there is no need to add this cond there.
