Agreed that timeout makes little sense in this context, and IPC looks
correct.

+        pgstat_report_wait_start(WAIT_EVENT_CHECKPOINT_DELAY_START);
         do
         {
             pg_usleep(10000L);    /* wait for 10 msec */
         } while (HaveVirtualXIDsDelayingChkpt(vxids, nvxids,
                                               DELAY_CHKPT_START));
+        pgstat_report_wait_end();

HaveVirtualXIDsDelayingChkpt() does immediately a LWLockAcquire()
which would itself report a wait event for ProcArrayLock, overwriting
this new one, no?
