Avi Kivity d980f550d1 Merge 'row_cache: Make fill_buffer() preemptable when cursor leads with dummy rows' from Tomasz Grabiec
fill_buffer() will keep scanning until _lower_bound_changed is true,
even if preemption is signaled, so that the reader makes forward
progress.

Before the patch, we did not update _lower_bound on touching a dummy
entry. The read will not respect preemption until we hit a non-dummy
row. If there is a lot of dummy rows, that can cause reactor stalls.

Fix that by updating _lower_bound on dummy entries as well.

Refs #8153.

Tested with perf_row_cache_reads:

```
$ build/release/test/perf/perf_row_cache_reads -c1 -m200M
Rows in cache: 0
Populating with dummy rows
Rows in cache: 373929
Scanning
read: 183.658966 [ms], preemption: {count: 848, 99%: 0.545791 [ms], max: 0.519343 [ms]}, cache: 99/100 [MB]
read: 120.951515 [ms], preemption: {count: 257, 99%: 0.545791 [ms], max: 0.518795 [ms]}, cache: 99/100 [MB]
```

Notice that max preemption latency is low in the second "read:" line.

Closes #8167
