You renamed the function in a previous version but let me suggest another one:
pg_wal_replay_wait. It uses the same pattern as the other recovery control
functions [1]. I think "for" doesn't add much for the function name and "lsn" is
used in functions that return an LSN (that's not the case here).

postgres=# \df pg_wal_replay*
List of functions
-[ RECORD 1 ]-------+---------------------
Schema              | pg_catalog
Name                | pg_wal_replay_pause
Result data type    | void
Argument data types | 
Type                | func
-[ RECORD 2 ]-------+---------------------
Schema              | pg_catalog
Name                | pg_wal_replay_resume
Result data type    | void
Argument data types | 
Type                | func

Regarding the arguments, I think the timeout should be bigint. There is at least
another function that implements a timeout that uses bigint. 

postgres=# \df pg_terminate_backend
List of functions
-[ RECORD 1 ]-------+--------------------------------------
Schema              | pg_catalog
Name                | pg_terminate_backend
Result data type    | boolean
Argument data types | pid integer, timeout bigint DEFAULT 0
Type                | func

I also suggests that the timeout unit should be milliseconds, hence, using
bigint is perfectly fine for the timeout argument.

+       <para>
