Fix oversight in coding of _bt_start_vacuum: we can't assume that the LWLock

will be released by transaction abort before _bt_end_vacuum gets called.
If either of these "can't happen" errors actually happened, we'd freeze up
trying to acquire an already-held lock.  Latest word is that this does
not explain Martin Pitt's trouble report, but it still looks like a bug.
