The parallel GIN builds perform "freezing" of TID lists when merging chunks built earlier. This means determining what part of the list can no longer change, depending on the last received chunk. The frozen part can be evicted from memory and written out. The code attempted to freeze items right before merging the old and new TID list, after already attempting to trim the current buffer. That means part of the data may get frozen based on the new TID list, but will be trimmed later (on next loop). This increases memory usage. This inverts the order, so that we freeze data first (before trimming). The benefits are likely relatively small, but it's also virtually free with no other downsides.
