Make on-access pruning pin visibility map before locking heap page

b46e1e54d078 pinned the VM after acquiring a cleanup lock on the heap
page when on-access pruning. This was not correct, as pinning the VM may
require I/O. Pin the VM before acquiring the lock. This could mean
occasional unneeded pinning when the buffer is under contention, but
that should be rare.
