    When telling the bgwriter that we need a checkpoint because too much xlog · 5c8eb929

    has been consumed, recheck against the latest value of RedoRecPtr before
    really sending the signal.  This avoids useless checkpoint activity if
    XLogWrite is executed when we have a very stale local copy of RedoRecPtr.
    The potential for useless checkpoint is very much worse in 8.3 because of
    the walwriter process (which never does XLogInsert), so while this behavior
    was intentional, it needs to be changed.  Per report from Itagaki Takahiro.
