commit    57b100fe0fb1d0d5803789d3113b89fa18a34fad
Author:   Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

First released in: 9.2.0, 8.4.12, 9.0.8, 9.1.4

    Fix some more bugs in GIN's WAL replay logic.
    
    In commit 4016bdef8aded77b4903c457050622a5a1815c16 I fixed a bunch of
    ginxlog.c bugs having to do with not handling XLogReadBuffer failures
    correctly.  However, in ginRedoUpdateMetapage and ginRedoDeleteListPages,
    I unaccountably thought that failure to read the metapage would be
    impossible and just put in an elog(PANIC) call.  This is of course wrong:
    failure is exactly what will happen if the index got dropped (or rebuilt)
    between creation of the WAL record and the crash we're trying to recover
    from.  I believe this explains Nicholas Wilson's recent report of these
    errors getting reached.
    
    Also, fix memory leak in forgetIncompleteSplit.  This wasn't of much
    concern when the code was written, but in a long-running standby server
    page split records could be expected to accumulate indefinitely.
    
    Back-patch to 8.4 --- before that, GIN didn't have a metapage.
