Andres Freund 6b93fcd149 Avoid atomic operation in MarkLocalBufferDirty(). 
The recent patch to make Pin/UnpinBuffer lockfree in the hot
path (48354581a), accidentally used pg_atomic_fetch_or_u32() in
MarkLocalBufferDirty(). Other code operating on local buffers was
careful to only use pg_atomic_read/write_u32 which just read/write from
memory; to avoid unnecessary overhead.

On its own that'd just make MarkLocalBufferDirty() slightly less
efficient, but in addition InitLocalBuffers() doesn't call
pg_atomic_init_u32() - thus the spinlock fallback for the atomic
operations isn't initialized. That in turn caused, as reported by Tom,
buildfarm animal gaur to fail.  As those errors are actually useful
against this type of error, continue to omit - intentionally this time -
initialization of the atomic variable.

In addition, add an explicit note about only using pg_atomic_read/write
on local buffers's state to BufferDesc's description.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
