pgsql: Avoid unnecessary acquisition of SyncRepLock in transaction comm

Avoid unnecessary acquisition of SyncRepLock in transaction commit time.

In SyncRepWaitForLSN() routine called in transaction commit time,
SyncRepLock is necessary to atomically both check the shared
sync_standbys_defined flag and operate the sync replication wait-queue.
On the other hand, when the flag is false, the lock is not necessary
because the wait-queue is not touched. But due to the changes by
commit 48c9f49265, previously the lock was taken whatever the flag was.
This could cause unnecessary performance overhead in every transaction
commit time. Therefore this commit avoids that unnecessary aquisition
of SyncRepLock.
