Reduce scope of heap vacuum per_buffer_data

Move lazy_scan_heap()'s per_buffer_data variable into a tighter scope.
In lazy_scan_heap()'s phase I heap vacuuming, the read stream API
returns a pointer to the next block number to vacuum. As long as
read_stream_next_buffer() returns a valid buffer, per_buffer_data should
always be valid.

Move per_buffer_data into a tighter scope and make sure it is reset to
NULL on each iteration so that we get a core dump instead of bogus data
from a previous block if something goes wrong in the read stream API.
