At the end of SyncRepReleaseWaiters, SYNC_REP_WAIT_WRITE and
SYNC_REP_WAIT_FLUSH in walsndctl were able to update with only one wal
sender in sync, making backends wake up even if other standbys did not
catch up. But we need to scan all the synchronous wal senders and find
the minimum write and flush positions and update walsndctl with those
values. Well that's a code path I forgot to cover.
Attached is an updated patch fixing the problem you reported.
