fixedmultiple WAL replay issues with Hot Standby. Before that commit, replaying a heap update didn't try to keep both
bufferslocked at the same time, which is necessary for the correctness of hot standby. The patch fixed that, but missed
releasingthe old buffer in this corner case. I was not able to come up with a scenario with full_page_writes=on where
thiswould fail, but I'm also not 100% sure it can't happen.
