I see that's nontrivial to cherry-pick due to parallel vacuum changes, and due
to re-arranging calls to pgstat_progress.
Since the next minor releases are in August, and PG13 expected to be released
~October, we could defer backpatching until November (or later).

I guess the alternative is to write like
LVRelStats olderrinfo = {
.phase = vacrelstats.phase,
.blkno = vacrelstats.blkno,
.indname = vacrelstats.indname,
};
