get_post_format does not work when using in a save_post callback and using Bulk Edit

[twarrior3dc]

It seems that when using Bulk Edit, post_format is not updated until after wp_update_post (and in turn any save_post callbacks) therefore making it impossible to reliably use get_post_format in a save_post callback as the old post format is returned when using Bulk Edit while the new post format is returned when editing a single post. While it seems that this might be by design, it does run counter to the logic that save_post is always executed after the post is updated. If this is truly necessary by design I think the save_post Codex page should be at least updated to reference this as an exception. See ​https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/bulk_edit_posts/ lines 559 and 568/569
