The pattern of using the same variable to apply filters
or alter the `QuerySet` in other ways might produce `QuerySet`s
with incompatible types. This behavior is not allowed by mypy.

The returned dictionary is not at all used outside the function, so it's
sufficient to make it available only within the helper function itself.

Previously, when a topic was edited (including being resolved), it
would become unmuted for any users who had muted it, which was
annoying.
While it's not possible to determine the user's intent completely,
this is clearly incorrect behavior in the `change_all` case, such as
resolving a topic.
The comments discuss some scenarios where we might want to enhance
this further, but this is the best we can do without large increases
in complexity.
Fixes#15210.
