If the transaction chose itself as a victim before and restarted, it
might request a no fail lock request this time. But it might be added to
others' lock graph and be chose as the victim again, it's no longer safe
without additional check. We can also convert the cycle detector to be
fully RCU-based to solve that unsoundness, but the latency added to trans_put
and additional memory required may not worth it.
