Fix race in SSI interaction with gin fast path.

The ginfast.c code previously checked for conflicts in before locking
the relevant buffer, leaving a window where a RW conflict could be
missed.  Re-order.

There was also a place where buffer ID and block number were confused
while trying to predicate-lock a page, noted by visual inspection.

Back-patch to all supported releases.  Fixes one more problem discovered
with the reproducer from bug #17949, in this case when Dmitry tried
other index types.
