Yu Zhang e1fd348b92 Fix a bug in multiget for cleaning up SuperVersion (#11830)
Summary:
When `MultiGet` acquires `SuperVersion` via locking the db mutex and get the current `ColumnFamilyData::super_version_`, its corresponding cleanup logic is not correctly done.

It's currently doing this:
`MultiGetColumnFamilyData::cfd->GetSuperVersion().Unref()`

This operates on the most recent `SuperVersion` without locking db mutex , which is not thread safe by itself. And this unref operation is intended for the originally acquired `SuperVersion` instead of the current one. Because a race condition could happen where a new `SuperVersion` is installed in between this `MultiGet`'s ref and unref. When this race condition does happen, it's not sufficient to just unref the `SuperVersion`, `DBImpl::CleanupSuperVersion` should be called instead to properly clean up the `SuperVersion` had this `MultiGet` call be its last reference holder.

Test Plan:
`make all check`
