During Hot Standby we need to check for buffer pin deadlocks when the Startup process begins to wait, in case it never wakes up again. We previously made the deadlock check immediately on the basis it was cheap, though clearer thinking and prima facie evidence shows that was too simple. Refactor existing code to make it easy to add in deferral of deadlock check until deadlock_timeout allowing a good reduction in deadlock checks since far few buffer pins are held for that duration. It's worth doing anyway, though major goal is to prevent further reports of context switching with high numbers of users on occasional tests.
