MDEV-28871: Assert ... failed in JOIN::dbug_verify_sj_inner_tables...

optimize_semi_joins() calls update_sj_state() to update semi-join
optimization state in the JOIN class.

greedy_search() algorithm considers different join prefixes,
and then picks one table to put into the join prefix.
Most of the semi-join optimization state is in the table's entry
in the join->positions[cur_prefix_size].

However, it also needs to call update_sj_state() to update the
semi-join optimization state in the JOIN class.

There is one exception, which is the cause of this bug: when we're
inside optimize_semi_join_nests() and are optimizing a subquery,
optimize_semi_joins() does nothing, it doesn't call update_sj_state().

greedy_search() must not do that either.
