Few minor comments:
1) we could remove the variable slotname from the below code by using
PQgetvalue directly in pg_log:
+       for (i = 0; i < ntups; i++)
+       {
+               char       *slotname;
+
+               is_error = true;
+
+               slotname = PQgetvalue(res, i, i_slotname);
+
+               pg_log(PG_WARNING,
+                          "\nWARNING: logical replication slot \"%s\"
is not active",
+                          slotname);
+       }

2) This include "catalog/pg_control.h" should be after inclusion pg_collation.h
 #include "catalog/pg_authid_d.h"
+#include "catalog/pg_control.h"
 #include "catalog/pg_collation.h"

3) This spurious addition line change might not be required in this patch:
 --- a/src/bin/pg_upgrade/t/003_logical_replication_slots.pl
+++ b/src/bin/pg_upgrade/t/003_logical_replication_slots.pl
@@ -85,11 +85,39 @@ $old_node->safe_psql(
 ]);

 my $result = $old_node->safe_psql('postgres',
-       "SELECT count (*) FROM
pg_logical_slot_get_changes('test_slot', NULL, NULL)"
+       "SELECT count(*) FROM
pg_logical_slot_peek_changes('test_slot', NULL, NULL)"
 );
+
 is($result, qq(12), 'ensure WALs are not consumed yet');
 $old_node->stop;

4) This inclusion "#include "access/xlogrecord.h" is not required:
 #include "postgres_fe.h"

+#include "access/xlogrecord.h"
+#include "access/xlog_internal.h"
 #include "catalog/pg_authid_d.h"

5)"thepublisher's" should be "the publisher's"
 When a live check is requested, there is a possibility of additional changes
occurring, which may cause the current WAL position to exceed the
confirmed_flush_lsn
of the slot. As a result, we check the confirmed_flush_lsn of each logical slot
instead. This is sufficient as all the WAL records will be sent during
thepublisher's
shutdown.
