I was thinking more about this today and I think that we don't
actually need the PD_ALL_FROZEN page-level bit for anything. It's
enough that the bit is present in the visibility map. The only point
of PD_ALL_VISIBLE is that it tells us that we need to clear the
visibility map bit, but that bit is enough to tell us to clear both
visibility map bits. So I propose the attached cleanup patch.
