    Prevent deadlock in ginRedoDeletePage()
    
    On standby ginRedoDeletePage() can work concurrently with read-only queries.
    Those queries can traverse posting tree in two ways.
    1) Using rightlinks by ginStepRight(), which locks the next page before
       unlocking its left sibling.
    2) Using downlinks by ginFindLeafPage(), which locks at most one page at time.
    
    Original lock order was: page, parent, left sibling.  That lock order can
    deadlock with ginStepRight().  In order to prevent deadlock this commit changes
    lock order to: left sibling, page, parent.  Note, that position of parent in
    locking order seems insignificant, because we only lock one page at time while
    traversing downlinks.
