Subject: [PATCH] Avoid holding vmbuffer pin after VACUUM. During VACUUM if we
 pause to perform a cycle of index cleanup we drop the vmbuffer pin, so we
 should do the same thing when heap scan completes. This avoids holding
 vmbuffer pin across the main index cleanup in VACUUM, which could be minutes
 or hours longer than necessary for correctness.

Bug report and suggested fix from Pavan Deolasee
