When MySQL 5.6.10 introduced innodb_read_only mode, it skipped the creation of the InnoDB buffer pool dump/restore subsystem in that mode. Attempts to set the variable innodb_buf_pool_dump_now would have no effect in innodb_read_only mode, but the corresponding condition was forgotten in from the other two update functions.

MySQL 5.7.20 would fix the innodb_buffer_pool_load_now, but not innodb_buffer_pool_load_abort.
