Blocks in previous victim will occupy addition free segment, I doubt after this
change, FGGC may encounter out-of-free space issue more frequently.

Thanks,

Hmm, actually this change seems wrong by sec_usage_check().
We may be able to avoid this only in the suspicious loop?

That's original solution Sahitya provided to avoid infinite loop of GC, but I
suggest to find the root cause first, then we added .invalid_segmap for that
purpose.
