Revert "Get rid of WALBufMappingLock"

This reverts commit bc22dc0e0ddc2dcb6043a732415019cc6b6bf683.
It appears that conditional variables are not suitable for use inside
critical sections.  If WaitLatch()/WaitEventSetWaitBlock() face postmaster
death, they exit, releasing all locks instead of PANIC.  In certain
situations, this leads to data corruption.
