This part is understandable but I don't understand the part of the
comment (This is needed to determine am_cascading_walsender accurately
..) atop a call to WalSndWaitForWal(). The am_cascading_walsender is
determined based on the results of RecoveryInProgress(). Can the wait
for WAL by using WalSndWaitForWal() change the result of
RecoveryInProgress()?
