The evictable reader must ensure that each buffer fill makes forward
progress, i.e. the last fragment in the buffer has a position larger
than the last fragment from the previous buffer-fill. Otherwise, the
reader could get stuck in an infinite loop between buffer fills, if the
reader is evicted in-between.
The code guranteeing this forward progress had a bug: the comparison
between the position after the last buffer-fill and the current
last fragment position was done in the wrong direction.
So if the condition that we wanted to achieve was already true, we would
continue filling the buffer until partition end which may lead to OOMs
such as in #13491.
There was already a fix in this area to handle `partition_start`
fragments correctly - #13563 - but it missed that the position
comparison was done in the wrong order.
Fix the comparison and adjust one of the tests (added in #13563) to
detect this case.
Fixes#13491
