Commit 51f55b13a4 added a test where DROP DATABASE ... WITH (FORCE)
terminates a session holding a temporary table in the target database.
While exiting, the terminated session drops its temporary table and
commits, and the commit waits for a WAL flush behind the backlog
generated by the checksum workers. On machines with slow storage this
can exceed the five seconds DROP DATABASE waits for terminated backends
to exit, making the test fail with "database "dropmeforce" is being
accessed by other users", as observed on buildfarm member turaco.
To fix, use asynchronous commit in the terminated session, so that its
exit does not wait for a WAL flush, and checkpoint before the drop so
that the exit-time WAL records do not queue up behind the backlog.
