Don't hold ProcArrayLock longer than needed in rare cases
While cancelling an autovacuum worker, we hold ProcArrayLock while
formatting a debugging log string.  We can make this shorter by saving
the data we need to produce the message and doing the formatting outside
the locked region.

This isn't terribly critical, as it only occurs pretty rarely: when a
backend runs deadlock detection and it happens to be blocked by a
autovacuum running autovacuum.  Still, there's no need to cause a hiccup
in ProcArrayLock processing, which can be very high-traffic in some
cases.

While at it, rework code so that we only print the string when it is
really going to be used, as suggested by Michael Paquier.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
