GIN stuck in loop during PITR

I'm just experimenting a bit with GIN, and it is occasionally getting
stuck looping in findParents() during WAL replay.

The attached patch seems to fix it. I also had to set ptr->off as
advertised in the comment above the function to avoid triggering
assertions.

GIN isn't fully transparent to me yet, so it is quite likely that I am
missing something...

regards,
andreas
