Commit 210622c6 accidentally zeroed out pages even if they were found in the buffer pool. It should always lock the page, but it should only zero pages that were not already valid. Otherwise, concurrent readers that hold only a pin could see corrupted page contents changing under their feet. While here, rename ZeroAndLockBuffer() to match the RBM_ flag name. Also restore a some useful comments lost by 210622c6's refactoring, and add some new ones to clarify why we need to use the BM_IO_IN_PROGRESS infrastructure despite not doing I/O.
