On standby ginRedoDeletePage() can work concurrently with read-only queries. Those queries can traverse posting tree in two ways. 1) Using rightlinks by ginStepRight(), which locks the next page before unlocking its left sibling. 2) Using downlinks by ginFindLeafPage(), which locks at most one page at time. Original lock order was: page, parent, left sibling. That lock order can deadlock with ginStepRight(). In order to prevent deadlock this commit changes lock order to: left sibling, page, parent. Note, that position of parent in locking order seems insignificant, because we only lock one page at time while traversing downlinks.
