    Fix statistics breakage from bgwriter/checkpointer process split. · 80e373c3

    ForwardFsyncRequest() supposed that it could only be called in regular
    backends, which used to be true; but since the splitup of bgwriter and
    checkpointer, it is also called in the bgwriter.  We do not want to count
    such calls in pg_stat_bgwriter.buffers_backend statistics, so fix things
    so that they aren't.
    
    (It's worth noting here that this implies an alarmingly large increase in
    the expected amount of cross-process fsync request traffic, which may well
    mean that the process splitup was not such a hot idea.)
