After reviewing this patch more, I'm leaning toward to backpatch this
change. The patch adds CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to
pg_buffercache_pages(), pg_buffercache_summary(), and
pg_buffercache_usage_counts(), and the latter two functions were
introduced in v16. Therefore, for v15 or older we can add CFI to only
pg_buffercache_pages() and apply this patch to v16 or newer. Thoughts?
