Fix statistics breakage from bgwriter/checkpointer process split. ForwardFsyncRequest() supposed that it could only be called in regular backends, which used to be true; but since the splitup of bgwriter and checkpointer, it is also called in the bgwriter. We do not want to count such calls in pg_stat_bgwriter.buffers_backend statistics, so fix things so that they aren't.
(It's worth noting here that this implies an alarmingly large increase in the expected amount of cross-process fsync request traffic, which may well mean that the process splitup was not such a hot idea.)
