f587338dec has introduced in the test module injection_points a SQL
function called injection_points_set_local(), that can be used to make
all the injection points linked to the process where they are attached,
discarded automatically if any remain once the process exits.
e2e3b8ae9e has added a NO_INSTALLCHECK to the test module to prevent
the use of installcheck. Now that there is a way to make the test
concurrent-safe, let's use it and remove the installcheck restriction.
Concurrency issues could be easily reproduced by running in a tight
loop a command like this one, in src/test/modules/gin/ (hardcoding
pg_sleep() after attaching injection points enlarges the race window)
and a second test suite like contrib/btree_gin/:
make installcheck USE_MODULE_DB=1

As written, the test would fail when run repeatedly because one of the
injection points attached was not detached. This would not matter if
the test is rewritten to be concurrently safe, but let's be clean and
it is a good practice.

ginFinishSplit() expects the caller to hold an exclusive lock on the
buffer, but when finishing an earlier "leftover" incomplete split of
an internal page, the caller held a shared lock. That caused an
assertion failure in MarkBufferDirty(). Without assertions, it could
lead to corruption if two backends tried to complete the split at the
same time.
On master, add a test case using the new injection point facility.
Report and analysis by Fei Changhong. Backpatch the fix to all
supported versions.
