Subject: [PATCH v3] Correctly update contfol file at the end of archive recovery
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2022 16:35:16 +0900

CreateRestartPoint runs WAL file cleanup basing on the checkpoint just
have finished in the function.  If the database has exited
DB_IN_ARCHIVE_RECOVERY state when the function is going to update
control file, the function refrains from updating the file at all then
proceeds to WAL cleanup having the latest REDO LSN, which is now
inconsistent with the control file.  As the result, the succeeding
cleanup procedure overly removes WAL files against the control file
and leaves unrecoverable database until the next checkpoint finishes.

Along with that fix, we remove a dead code path for the case some
other process ran a simultaneous checkpoint.  It seems like just a
preventive measure but it's no longer useful because we are sure that
checkpoint is performed only by checkpointer except single process
mode.
