When deleting a bucket with an incomplete multipart upload that
has about 2000 parts uploaded, we noticed an infinite loop, which
stopped s3cmd from deleting the bucket forever.
Per check on the source code, when the bucket index was sharded (for example 128
shards), the original logic in
RGWRados::cls_bucket_list_unordered() did not calculate
the bucket shard ID correctly when the index key of a data
part was taken as the marker.

The issue is not necessarily reproduced each time. It will depend
on the key of the object. To reproduce it in 128-shard bucket,
we use 334 as the key for the incomplete multipart upload,
which will be located in Shard 127 (known by experiment). In this
setup, the original logic will usually come out a shard ID smaller
than 127 (since 127 is the largest one) from the marker and
thus a circle is constructed, which results in an infinite loop.

PS: Sometimes the bucket ID calculation may incorrectly going forward
instead of backward. Thus, the check logic may skip some shards,
which may have regular keys. In such scenarios, some non-empty buckets may
be deleted by accident.
