Thanks. I corrected the commit message.

User would have provided the servername in
postgres_fdw_disconnect('myserver'), I don't think we need to emit the
warning again with the servername. The existing warning seems fine.

IMO, the number of active connections is not informative, because
users can not do anything with them. What's actually more informative
would be to list all the server names for which the connections are
active, instead of the warning - "cannot close all connections because
some of them are still in use". Having said that, I feel like it's an
overkill for now to do that. If required, we can enhance the warnings
in future. Thoughts?
Attaching v11 patch set, with changes only in 0001. The changes are
commit message correction and moved the warning related code to
disconnect_cached_connections from postgres_fdw_disconnect.
Please review v11 further.
