_bt_check_unique will hold an exclusive buffer lock on the page being
LP_DEAD-set in the vast majority of cases. Should we expect your
changes to have no effect at all in that common case?

The BTP_HAS_GARBAGE flag is deprecated these days; we basically don't
use it anymore. How much value might there be in avoiding setting
BTP_HAS_GARBAGE as a way of being able to use BufferSetHintBits16 more
often in nbtree?
