Nice catches, both of you.  Let's adjust everything spotted in one
shot.  Matthias' patch makes the ordering right, but the
initialization path a bit harder to follow when using a separate list.
The code is short so it does not strike me as a big deal, and it comes
from the fact that we need to lock an existing buffer when merging two
lists.  For the branch where we insert into a tail page, the pages are
already locked but it looks to be enough to move XLogBeginInsert()
before the first XLogRegisterBuffer() call.

Would any of you like to write a patch?
