I think that's the right way, only that I wouldn't call FSMVacuum()
inside the loop but only once you're out of it.

FWIW I had to add a FSMVacuum call somewhere in the BRIN code also,
which I didn't like at all.  If there's a way to optimize this "bubbling
up" of some individual page all the way to the root level, that would
probably be a lot better than what it's currently doing.
