Fix assertion failure by an immediate shutdown.

MasaoFujii · MasaoFujii · commit 91c3613d3748 · 2013-08-08T02:48:53.000+09:00
In PM_WAIT_DEAD_END state, checkpointer process must be dead already. But an immediate shutdown could make postmaster's state machine transition to PM_WAIT_DEAD_END state even if checkpointer process is still running, and which caused assertion failure. This bug was introduced in commit 457d6cf. This patch ensures that postmaster's state machine doesn't transition to PM_WAIT_DEAD_END state in an immediate shutdown while checkpointer process is running.
