If we are sure buffers have no this page we can detect it via FS.
Otherwise... nothing bad can happen, actually. We might get false positive and
zero the page once more.
If we got init_needed==false, maybe cache it for this page and set
last_initialized_offsets_page = pageno?
Or, perhaps, XLOG_MULTIXACT_ZERO_OFF_PAGE will do it for us anyway, but a bit
later.
