I think that's been fixed a few years back:

Don't bother to lock bufmgr partitions in pg_buffercache.
That makes the view a lot less disruptive to use on a production system.
Without the locks, you don't get a consistent snapshot across all buffers,
but that's OK. It wasn't a very useful guarantee in practice.
