Each buffer header contains a usage counter, which is incremented (up to a
small limit value) whenever the buffer is unpinned. (This requires only the
buffer header spinlock, which would have to be taken anyway to decrement the
small limit value) whenever the buffer is pinned. (This requires only the
buffer header spinlock, which would have to be taken anyway to increment the
buffer reference count, so it's nearly free.)
The "clock hand" is a buffer index, NextVictimBuffer, that moves circularly
