The LogCheckpointStart() call inside CreateCheckPoint() is done while
inside a critical section. The elog call could trigger errors due to
memory allocations or from a logging hook, resulting in a panic. It
seems better to postpone the logging until after the critical section
is done. It's only a few lwlock acquisitions away and shouldn't make
any material difference. Patch to do so is attached.
