That seems reasonable, in that case a startup process would behave just the
same as bgwriter or checkpointer.

I purpose a patch which calls smgrdestroyall() when redo each
XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE, so that it can keep the same frequency of calling
smgrdestroyall() as background processes on primary. I don't call it for
XLOG_CHECKPOINT_SHUTDOWN because the process is about to exit so that the
memory will go soon, and don't call it for XLOG_CHECKPOINT_REDO because it
seems to be a place holder only.
