Commit
efada2b8e92, which made the nbtree page deletion algorithm more
robust, removed _bt_getstackbuf() calls from _bt_pagedel(). It failed
to update a comment that referenced the earlier approach. Update the
comment to explain that the _bt_getstackbuf() page deletion call site
mirrors the only other remaining _bt_getstackbuf() call site, which is
reached during page splits.

* "child" is the leaf page we wish to delete, and "stack" is a search stack
* leading to it (approximately). Note that we will update the stack
- * entry(s) to reflect current downlink positions --- this is harmless and
- * indeed saves later search effort in _bt_pagedel. The caller should
- * initialize *target and *rightsib to the leaf page and its right sibling.
+ * entry(s) to reflect current downlink positions --- this is essentially the

+ * caller. The caller should initialize *target and *rightsib to the leaf

* Note: it's OK to release page locks on any internal pages between the leaf
* and *topparent, because a safe deletion can't become unsafe due to
