Subject: [PATCH] Fix ReadBuffer() to correctly handle the case where it's
 trying to extend the relation but it finds a pre-existing valid buffer.  The
 buffer does not correspond to any page known to the kernel, so we *must* do
 smgrextend to ensure that the space becomes allocated.  The 7.x branches all
 do this correctly, but the corner case got lost somewhere during 8.0 bufmgr
 rewrites. (My fault no doubt :-( ... I think I assumed that such a buffer
 must be not-BM_VALID, which is not so.)
