Peter Geoghegan 7154aa16a6 Fix another minor page deletion buffer lock issue.
Avoid accessing the leaf page's top parent tuple without a buffer lock
held during the second phase of nbtree page deletion.  The old approach
was safe, though only because VACUUM never drops its buffer pin (and
because only VACUUM itself can modify a half-dead page).  Even still, it
seems like a good idea to be strict here.  Tighten things up by copying
the top parent page's block number to a local variable before releasing
the buffer lock on the leaf page -- not after.

This is a follow-up to commit fa7ff642, which fixed a similar issue in
the first phase of nbtree page deletion.

Update some related comments in passing.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
