While rebasing the aio patchset ontop of HEAD I noticed that this commit added
another atomic operation to XLogWrite() with archiving enabled. The WAL write
path is really quite hot, and at least some of the
NotifySegmentsReadyForArchive() calls are done while WALWriteLock is held.

I think we should at least try to make the fast-path where no segment
boundaries were crossed use no atomic operations.
