You don't have to repeat the upgrade steps on slave after upgrading the
master. Once master is upgraded (using link option with pg_upgrade takes
the least amount of time
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/pgupgrade.html) you have to
install the new binaries and then rebuild slave from the master. You don't
have to upgrade slave separately. Although yes, rebuilding slave will take
a while, till which your cluster will be standalone. However, actual
downtime shouldn't be more than a few minutes.
Personally haven't used, but you might want to look into
http://slony.info/documentation/1.2/versionupgrade.html and see if it can
further reduce downtime, however it can be very complicated.
