Fix buffer pin leak in heap update redo routine.

hlinnaka · hlinnaka · commit 3cfb572dde20 · 2013-03-27T22:00:01.000+02:00
In a heap update, if the old and new tuple were on different pages, and the new page no longer existed (because it was subsequently truncated away by vacuum), heap_xlog_update forgot to release the pin on the old buffer. This bug was introduced by the "Fix multiple problems in WAL replay" patch, commit 3bbf668 (on master branch). With full_page_writes=off, this triggered an "incorrect local pin count" error later in replay, if the old page was vacuumed. This fixes bug #7969, reported by Yunong Xiao. Backpatch to 9.0, like the commit that introduced this bug.
