    Commit 34f581c3 intended to ensure that RelationGetBufferForTuple
    would acquire a visibility-map page pin in case the otherBuffer's
    all-visible bit had become set since we last had lock on that page.
    But I missed a case: when we're extending the relation, VM concerns
    were dealt with only in the relatively-less-likely case that we
    fail to conditionally lock the otherBuffer.  I think I'd believed
    that we couldn't need to worry about it if the conditional lock
    succeeds, which is true for the target buffer; but the otherBuffer
    was unlocked for awhile so its bit might be set anyway.  So we need
    to do the GetVisibilityMapPins dance, and then also recheck the
    page's free space, in both cases.
    
    Per report from Jaime Casanova.  Back-patch to v12 as the previous
    patch was (although there's still no evidence that the bug is
    reachable pre-v14).
