I've investigated the commit, and I think there is just one more thing that
can make the page init more even. I propose my very small patch on this in
another discussion branch:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CALT9ZEFFq2-n5Lmfg59L6Hm3ZrgCexyhR9eqme7v1jodtXGg1A@mail.gmail.com

If you want, feel free to discuss it and push if consider the change
relevant.
