Right.

On reflection, we already have test cases for:

* a parallel vacuum does bulkdeletion and cleanup
* a parallel vacuum does only cleanup

and the case that the new tests add is that a vacuum does bulkdeletion
twice and cleanup. Given the increasing the regression test time, the
thrid patch might not worth to be added.
