LWLocks can be taken during transaction abort and you might have to
wait, so keeping the wait state around from before you started to
abort the transaction doesn't make any sense. You aren't waiting at
that point, and if you get stuck in some part of the code that isn't
instrumented to expose wait instrumentation, you certainly don't want
pg_stat_activity to still reflect the way things were when you
previously waiting on something else. It's essential that we clear
the wait state as early as possible - right after LWLockReleaseAll -
because at that point we are no longer waiting. Then you no longer
need to do it later on.
