Fix inplace update buffer self-deadlock.

A CacheInvalidateHeapTuple* callee might call
CatalogCacheInitializeCache(), which needs a relcache entry.  Acquiring
a valid relcache entry might scan pg_class.  Hence, to prevent
undetected LWLock self-deadlock, CacheInvalidateHeapTuple* callers must
not hold BUFFER_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE on buffers of pg_class.  Move the
CacheInvalidateHeapTupleInplace() before the BUFFER_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE.  No
back-patch, since I've reverted commit
243e9b40f1b2dd09d6e5bf91ebf6e822a2cd3704 from non-master branches.
