Fix locking when fixing an incomplete split of a GIN internal page
ginFinishSplit() expects the caller to hold an exclusive lock on the
buffer, but when finishing an earlier "leftover" incomplete split of
an internal page, the caller held a shared lock. That caused an
assertion failure in MarkBufferDirty(). Without assertions, it could
lead to corruption if two backends tried to complete the split at the
same time.
On master, add a test case using the new injection point facility.
Report and analysis by Fei Changhong. Backpatch the fix to all
supported versions.
