Reduce page locking in GIN vacuum

GIN vacuum during cleaning posting tree can lock this whole tree for a long
time with by holding LockBufferForCleanup() on root. Patch changes it with
two ways: first, cleanup lock will be taken only if there is an empty page
(which should be deleted) and, second, it tries to lock only subtree, not the
whole posting tree.
