    Description

      After fix for MDEV-5926, we see a regression for the filtered% column for testcase from MDEV-4350:

      create table t1 (a int);
      insert into t1 values (1), (1);
      insert into t1 select * from t1; 
      insert into t1 select * from t1; 
      insert into t1 select * from t1; 
      insert into t1 select * from t1; 
      insert into t1 select * from t1; 
      insert into t1 select * from t1; 
      insert into t1 select * from t1; 
      insert into t1 select * from t1; 
      insert into t1 select * from t1; 
      insert into t1 values (0);
      set use_stat_tables='preferably';
      set histogram_size=127;
      set histogram_type='SINGLE_PREC_HB';
      analyze table t1;
      flush table t1;
      set optimizer_use_condition_selectivity=4;

      mysql> explain extended select * from t1 where a=0;
      +------+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
      | id   | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key  | key_len | ref  | rows | filtered | Extra       |
      +------+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
      |    1 | SIMPLE      | t1    | ALL  | NULL          | NULL | NULL    | NULL | 1025 |    99.22 | Using where |
      +------+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+

      filtered% used to be 50%, now it's 99.22%. Both estimates are very wrong:

      mysql> select a,count(*) from  t1 group by a;
      +------+----------+
      | a    | count(*) |
      +------+----------+
      |    0 |        1 |
      |    1 |     1024 |
      +------+----------+

      But the new one is even worse than before.
