the current right-link then we'd re-scan any items moved by a page split.
We don't similarly remember the left-link, since it's best to use the most
up-to-date left-link when trying to move left (see detailed move-left
algorithm below).
We also remember the left-link, and follow it when the scan moves backwards
(though this requires extra handling to account for concurrent splits of
the left sibling; see detailed move-left algorithm below).
In most cases we release our lock and pin on a page before attempting
to acquire pin and lock on the page we are moving to. In a few places
