Tom Lane 7b6610508d Apply a better fix to mdunlinkfork().
Replace the stopgap fix I made in 0e758ae89 with a cleaner one.

The real problem with 4ab5dae94 is that it contorted this function's
logic substantially, by introducing a third code path that required
different behavior in the function's main loop.  That seems quite
unnecessary on closer inspection: the new IsBinaryUpgrade case can
just share the behavior of the other immediate-unlink cases.  Hence,
revert 4ab5dae94 and most of 0e758ae89 (keeping the latter's
save/restore errno fix), and add IsBinaryUpgrade to the set of
conditions tested to choose immediate unlink.

Also fix some additional places with sloppy handling of errno,
to ensure we have an invariant that we always continue processing
after any non-ENOENT failure of do_truncate.  I doubt that that's
fixing any bug of field importance, so I don't feel it necessary to
back-patch; but we might as well get it right while we're here.

Also improve the comments, which had drifted a bit from what the
code actually does, and neglected to mention some important
considerations.

Back-patch to v15, not because this is fixing any bug but because
it doesn't seem like a good idea for v15's mdunlinkfork logic to be
significantly different from both v14 and v16.

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:

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
