Merge #26238

26238: storage: avoid querying pusher where transaction record can't exist r=spencerkimball a=spencerkimball

This change checks whether a txn has a non-nil key before querying it
if it's waiting on an extant transaction which owns a conflicting intent.
Previously, the code would query the pusher's txn, even if the key was
nil, which would just send a spurious `QueryTxn` request to the first
range in the keyspace.

See #26059

Release note: None
