If that's the only diff, we could just hide it, say by writing

do $$ begin
PERFORM pg_terminate_backend(pid, 180000) FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE application_name = 'fdw_retry_check';
end $$;

The actually important thing is the failure check after this;
we don't care that much whether the initially-created connection
is still live at this point.
