Thanks a lot.
oops, indeed, the clean up stage is not in the XLog replay, So there is no problem.

No, it's entirely correct. That path isn't "during" replay, it's upon
completion of replay, where we're cleaning up anything that failed to be
completed before the crash. Emitting more WAL is allowed then. Note
the comment a few lines above the rm_cleanup calls:
/*
* Resource managers might need to write WAL records, eg, to record
* index cleanup actions. So temporarily enable XLogInsertAllowed in
* this process only.
