`evaluation_inputs` is a struct which contains data needed to evaluate expressions - values of columns, bind variables and other data.
`is_on_of()` is a function used to to evaluate `IN` restrictions. It checks whether the LHS is one of elements on the RHS list.
Generally when evaluating expressions we get the `evaluation_inputs` as an argument and we should pass them along to any functions that evaluate subexpressions.
`is_one_of()` got the inputs as an argument, but didn't pass them along to `equal()`, instead it creates new empty `evaluation_inputs{}` and gives that to `equal()`.
At first [I thought this was a bug](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/12356#discussion_r1084300969) - with missing information there could be a crash if `equal()` tried to evaluate an expression with a `bind_variable`.
It turns out that in this particular case `equal()` won't use the `evaluation_inputs` at all. The LHS and RHS passed to it are just constant values, which were already evaluated to serialized bytes before calling `evaluate()`, so there is no bug.
It's still better to pass the inputs argument along if possible. If in the future `equal()` required these inputs for some reason, missing inputs could lead to an unexpected crash.
I couldn't find any tests that would detect this case, so such a bug could stay undetected until an unhappy user finds it because their cluster crashed.
I added some tests to make sure that it's covered from now on.
Closes #12701
