Our shiny new version of Coverity kvetches about
FreePageBtreeInsertInternal:

*** CID 1667414:           (OVERRUN)
/srv/coverity/git/pgsql-git/postgresql/src/backend/utils/mmgr/freepage.c: 908   
          in FreePageBtreeInsertInternal()
902     {
903         Assert(btp->hdr.magic == FREE_PAGE_INTERNAL_MAGIC);
904         Assert(btp->hdr.nused <= FPM_ITEMS_PER_INTERNAL_PAGE);
905         Assert(index <= btp->hdr.nused);
906         memmove(&btp->u.internal_key[index + 1], 
&btp->u.internal_key[index],
907                 sizeof(FreePageBtreeInternalKey) * (btp->hdr.nused - 
index));
>>>     CID 1667414:           (OVERRUN)

908         btp->u.internal_key[index].first_page = first_page;
909         relptr_store(base, btp->u.internal_key[index].child, child);
910         ++btp->hdr.nused;
911     }

I believe the reason is that the second Assert is wrong, and it
should instead be

904         Assert(btp->hdr.nused < FPM_ITEMS_PER_INTERNAL_PAGE);

to assert that there is room for the item we are about to insert.

The same thinko exists in FreePageBtreeInsertLeaf, although
for some reason Coverity isn't whining about that.

Thoughts?
