hio: Release extension lock before initializing page / pinning VM

PageInit() while holding the extension lock is unnecessary after 0d1fe9f74e3
started to use RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK - nobody can look at the new page before we
release the page lock. PageInit() zeroes the page, which isn't that cheap, so
deferring it until after the extension lock is released seems like a good idea.

Doing visibilitymap_pin() while holding the extension lock, introduced in
7db0cd2145f2, looks like an accident. Due to the restrictions on
HEAP_INSERT_FROZEN it's unlikely to be a performance issue, but it still seems
better to move it out.  We also are doing the visibilitymap_pin() while
holding the buffer lock, which will be fixed in a separate commit.
