Please imagine the case where backup_label was successfully renamed
but tablespace_map was not. Even in this case, I think that we can see
that the backup mode was canceled because the remaining tablespace_map
file will be ignored in the subsequent recovery. So we should emit
the successful cancellation message when backup_label is renamed
whether tablespace_map is successfully renamed or not?

Thanks for the patch!
- /* if the file is not there, return */
- if (stat(BACKUP_LABEL_FILE, &stat_buf) < 0)
+ /* if the backup_label or tablespace_map file is not there, return */
+ if (stat(BACKUP_LABEL_FILE, &stat_buf) < 0 ||
+ stat(TABLESPACE_MAP, &stat_buf) < 0) return;
Seems problematic. This change always prevents the backup mode
from being canceled when there is no tablespace. Because in that case
tablespace_map file is not created when the backup mode is started,
and then the above condition is always true.
