It's important for 'all_visible_according_to_vm' to correctly reflect whether the VM bit is set or not, even when we are not trusting the VM to skip pages, because contrary to what the comment said, lazy_scan_prune() relies on it. If it's incorrectly set to 'false', when the VM bit is in fact set, lazy_scan_prune() will try to set the VM bit again and dirty the page unnecessarily. As a result, if you used DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING, all heap pages were dirtied, even if there were no changes. We would also fail to clear any VM bits that were set incorrectly. This was broken in commit 980ae17310, so backpatch to v16.
