Maybe we don't need a "named" DSM segment at all, and instead just use
bare dsm segments (dsm_create and friends) or a DSA -- not sure.  But
see commit 31ae1638ce35, which removed use of a DSA in autovacuum/BRIN.
Maybe fixing this is just a matter of reverting that commit.  At the
time, there was a belief that DSA wasn't supported everywhere so we
couldn't use it for autovacuum workitem stuff, but I think our reliance
on DSA is now past the critical point.

BTW, we should turn BRIN autosummarization to be on by default.
