Add a missing case which could cause unnecessary page allocation but not directly use inplace I/O instead, which increases runtime extra memory footprint. The detail is, considering an online file-backed page, the right half of the page is chosen to be cached (e.g. the end page of a readahead request) and some of its data doesn't exist in managed cache, so the pcluster will be definitely kept in the submission chain. (IOWs, it cannot be decompressed without I/O, e.g., due to the bypass queue). Currently, DELAYEDALLOC/TRYALLOC cases can be downgraded as NOINPLACE, and stop online pages from inplace I/O. After this patch, unneeded page allocations won't be observed in pickup_page_for_submission() then.
