We seem to have accumulated quite a few instance of that.

[rhaas pgsql]$ git grep MyLatch | wc -l
116
[rhaas pgsql]$ git grep 'MyProc->procLatch' | wc -l
33

Most of the offenders are in src/backend/replication, but there are
some that are related to parallelism as well (bgworker.c, pqmq.c,
parallel.c, condition_variable.c). Maybe we (you?) should just go and
change them all. I don't think using MyLatch instead of
MyProc->procLatch has become automatic for everyone yet.
