Right, but I think it's unclear the relationship between the
processing modes and releasing session locks. If non-normal-processing
mode means we're still in the process initialization phase, why we
don't skip other cleanup works such as walrcv_disconnect() and
FileSetDeleteAll()?

I think it's less confusing.

Fair point.
