Subject: [PATCH v11 04/17] BitmapPrefetch use prefetch block recheck for skip fetch
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2024 19:03:24 -0500

As of 7c70996ebf0949b142a9, BitmapPrefetch() used the recheck flag for
the current block to determine whether or not it could skip prefetching
the proposed prefetch block. It makes more sense for it to use the
recheck flag from the TBMIterateResult for the prefetch block instead.
See this [1] thread on hackers reporting the issue.
