WALSTAT_ACC is undefined, but WALLSTAT_ACC_INSTR_TIME_TYPE isn't.

I'd not remove the newline before LWLockRelease().

Minor code-formatting point: In postgres we don't put code in the same line as
a multi-line comment starting with the /*. So either

/* single line comment */
or
/*
* multi line
* comment
*/

I wonder if we should try to put pgWalUsage in here. But that's probably
better done as a separate patch.
