Description

## Bug Report

Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

### 1. Minimal reproduce step (Required)
init
```mysql
drop table t1;
create table t1 (a int primary key);
analyze table t1;
explain SELECT * FROM t1;
```
### 2. What did you expect to see? (Required)

A small number for estRows, since t1 is a empty table. e.g.

```mysql
+-----------------------+---------+-----------+---------------+----------------------+
| id | estRows | task | access object | operator info |
+-----------------------+---------+-----------+---------------+----------------------+
| TableReader_5 | 1.00 | root | | data:TableFullScan_4 |
| └─TableFullScan_4 | 1.00 | cop[tikv] | table:t1 | keep order:false |
+-----------------------+---------+-----------+---------------+----------------------+
```

In fact, sometime TiDB returns this result.

### 3. What did you see instead (Required)

```mysql
+-----------------------+----------+-----------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| id | estRows | task | access object | operator info |
+-----------------------+----------+-----------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| TableReader_5 | 10000.00 | root | | data:TableFullScan_4 |
| └─TableFullScan_4 | 10000.00 | cop[tikv] | table:t1 | keep order:false, stats:pseudo |
+-----------------------+----------+-----------+---------------+--------------------------------+
```

### 4. Some other info

It seems that this bug is unstable due to unknown reasons. Some behaviours may help to trigger this bug.

```mysql
session1 > begin;
session2 > begin;
session2 > explain SELECT * FROM t1;
session2 > explain SELECT * FROM t1 for update;
session1 > commit;
session2 > commit;
```

### 5. What is your TiDB version? (Required)

```mysql
