avoid updating index type during iterator creation (#5288)

Summary:
Right now there is a potential race condition where two threads are created to iterate through the DB (https://gist.github.com/miasantreble/88f5798a397ee7cb8e7baff9db2d9e85).  The problem is that in `BlockBasedTable::NewIndexIterator`, if both threads failed to find index_reader from block cache, they will call `CreateIndexReader->UpdateIndexType()` which creates a race to update `index_type` in the shared rep_ object. By checking the code, we realize the index type is always populated by `PrefetchIndexAndFilterBlocks` during the table `Open` call, so there is no need to update index type every time during iterator creation. This PR attempts to fix the race condition by removing the unnecessary call to `UpdateIndexType`
