Commit 1bd4bc85, which refactored nbtree sibling link traversal, made _bt_parallel_seize reset the scan's currPos so that things were consistent with the state of a serial backend moving between pages. This overlooked the fact that _bt_readnextpage relied on the existing currPos state to decide when to end the scan -- even though it came from before the scan was seized. As a result of all this, parallel nbtree scans could needlessly behave like full index scans. To fix, teach _bt_readnextpage to explicitly allow the use of an already read page's so->currPos when deciding whether to end the scan -- even during parallel index scans (allow it consistently now). This requires moving _bt_readnextpage's seizure of the scan to earlier in its loop. That way _bt_readnextpage either deals with the true so->currPos state, or an initialized-by-_bt_parallel_seize currPos state set from when the scan was seized. Now _bt_steppage (the most important _bt_readnextpage caller) takes the same uniform approach to setting up its call using details taken from so->currPos -- regardless of whether the scan happens to be parallel or serial. The new loop structure in _bt_readnextpage is prone to getting confused by P_NONE blknos set when the rightmost or leftmost page was reached. We could avoid that by adding an explicit check, but that would be ugly. Avoid this problem by teaching _bt_parallel_seize to end the parallel scan instead of returning a P_NONE next block/blkno. Doing things this way was arguably a missed opportunity for commit 1bd4bc85. It allows us to remove a similar "blkno == P_NONE" check from _bt_first. Oversight in commit 1bd4bc85, which refactored sibling link traversal (as part of optimizing nbtree backward scan locking).
