Commitfd83c83d09turned the recursive posting-tree cleanup in ginVacuumPostingTreeLeaves() into an iterative sweep that follows the tree's leaf pages via their rightlinks. The recursive version called vacuum_delay_point() while processing the tree, but that call was removed and never re-added to the new loop. As that commit only set out to fix a deadlock, the removal appears to have been unintentional. Consequently the leaf-page sweep of a single posting tree runs with no vacuum_delay_point(), and therefore no CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(). A posting tree stores all the TIDs for one indexed key, so for a frequently occurring key it can span a large number of leaf pages. While such a tree is being vacuumed the operation ignores vacuum_cost_delay and does not respond to query cancellation or statement_timeout; an autovacuum worker likewise cannot be interrupted mid-sweep when another backend requests a conflicting lock. Restore the call, placed after the current page has been unlocked and released so that no buffer content lock is held across a potential delay (cf.21c27af65f). The sibling loops in ginbulkdelete() and ginvacuumcleanup() already call vacuum_delay_point() once per page.
