Log Message:
-----------
Ensure that any memory leaked during an error inside the bgwriter is
recovered.  I did not see any actual leak while testing this in CVS tip,
but 8.0 definitely has a problem with leaking the space temporarily
palloc'd by BufferSync().  In any case this seems a good idea to forestall
similar problems in future.  Per report from Arjen van der Meijden.
