I took a look on this patch.
In gistdoinsert() you do CheckForSerializableConflictIn() only if page
wasn't exclusively locked before (xlocked is false).
if (!xlocked)

However, page might be exclusively locked before. And in this case
CheckForSerializableConflictIn() would be skipped. That happens very
rarely (someone fixes incomplete split before we did), but nevertheless.
