lapwing looks unhappy after this commit:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=lapwing&dt=2021-11-05%2022%3A40%3A10
xlog.c: In function 'StartupXLOG':
xlog.c:7249:5: error: 'checkPointLoc' may be used uninitialized in
this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
xlog.c:6686:5: note: 'checkPointLoc' was declared here

Thanks,
