Review Comment:
   > im not sure this fallback is necessary. according to javadoc, seekBefore 
should only return false if seekKey is <= the first key in the storefile. In 
that case, it's unlikely for the seekTo here to return false -- it only returns 
false if the file is empty, but the file can't be empty if we got here (we 
always will have succeeded at doing at least one seekBefore before calling this 
method).
   
   Nice catch, I'll make the change to go from
   ```java
   if (!hfs.seekTo()) {
           this.cur = null;
           return false;
   }
   ```
   
   to just 
   ```java
   hfs.seekTo();
   ```
   
   here.
   
   > Is there a valid case where the seekKey is <= start of file, and it makes 
sense to reset to the start of the file? What would we seek to? I think we'd 
end up re-calling this method again with the same seekKey.
   
   Yeah, this is actually a perfectly normal case that is flexed in the unit 
test 
[testReversibleScanners#testReversibleStoreFileScanner](https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/7af61794a8eee25d9e48a2561dd0a6a321f48c0c/hbase-server/src/test/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/TestReversibleScanners.java#L109)
 revealed existed for me (or at least that's the failing test which triggered 
these changes. The test fails if you remove the `seekTo` here).
   
   Consider two storefiles A & B which contain the rows {0, 3} & {1, 4} 
respectively. After we call seekToPreviousRow on these, they'll be in the 
states: {current=3, previousRow=0} and {current=4, previousRow=1} respectively. 
On the call to `seekToPreviousRow(Cell of Row 3)` for storefile B, we will go 
down the `seekToPreviousRowWithHint` path. The scanner for this storefile is 
currently at row 4. When we call 
`seekBeforeAndSaveKeyToPreviousRow(createFirstOnRow(Cell of Row 1))`, 
`hfs.seekBefore` will return false and we'll set previousRow to `null`. The 
scanner position will not have moved from row 4 so when we go to 
`reseekAtOrAfter(createFirstOnRow(Cell of Row 1))`, it will return false. This 
means that we'll effectively entirely skip row 1. I suppose we could 
`seekAtOrAfter` in this method back to the correct place, but we'll still do an 
additional reseek to the same place once we return up to 
`seekToPreviousRowWithHint` so it seems easier to just reset to the beginning 
of the blo
 ck and let the `reseekAtOrAfter` take us to the desired position
