bufmgr: Make UnlockReleaseBuffer() more efficient
Now that the buffer content lock is implemented as part of BufferDesc.state,
releasing the lock and unpinning the buffer can be implemented as a single
atomic operation.
This improves workloads that have heavy contention on a small number of
buffers substantially, I e.g., see a ~20% improvement for pipelined readonly
pgbench on an older two socket machine.
