When I started making this change, I realized that we need the
second WAL record because if the block is backed up in pruning
WAL write, we may never call PageRepairFragmentation during
the redo phase. Of course, we can fix that by making
heap_xlog_clean always repair page fragmentation irrespective
of whether the block was backed up, but that doesn't seem like
a good solution.
