I happened to notice, while reviewing stuff for the release notes,
that this patch does not do what the commit message says. The
previous code modified the pd_prune_xid of the "dBuffer" page,
but now it's modifying the pd_prune_xid of the "lBuffer" page.
Is that actually correct? If it isn't, maybe you need to move
the GinPageSetDeleteXid call down a bit further, next to the
GinPageSetDeleted call (by which time the "page" variable has
been restored to the right thing).
Another idea which would be safer if a bit more invasive is to stop
using the single "page" variable for two purposes.
