I think eight is enough. Committed with some cosmetic changes.

I think the turning point for this somewhat-troubled patch was when we
realized that, while results were somewhat mixed on whether it
improved performance, wait event monitoring showed that it definitely
reduced contention significantly. However, I just realized that in
both this case and in the case of group XID clearing, we weren't
advertising a wait event for the PGSemaphoreLock calls that are part
of the group locking machinery. I think we should fix that, because a
quick test shows that can happen fairly often -- not, I think, as
often as we would have seen LWLock waits without these patches, but
often enough that you'll want to know. Patch attached.
