_bt_pagedel only builds a search stack when it needs one to locate the
downlink of the page that it's about to mark half-dead (and when it
doesn't already have one from an earlier sibling deletion that took
place during the same _bt_pagedel call). _bt_pagedel won't build a
search stack for the page its caller passes whenever it happens to be
one that an earlier interrupted VACUUM left half-dead (since there is no
downlink to remove). We nevertheless asserted that page deletion could
only build a search stack for that initial caller-passed page.
To fix, remove the assertion, which spuriously failed when a half-dead
leaf page was passed by the _bt_pagedel caller and its right sibling
page was empty/had to be considered for deletion during the same call
(necessitating building a search stack to locate the right sibling's
downlink).
Oversight in commit cd8c73a38, which refactored nbtree page deletion's
INCOMPLETE_SPLIT check.
