The same counts for GetXLogWriteRecPtr, we had better allocate the
value in an independent variable as there are checks using it. For
now it does not matter much for the write position because all the
code paths doing the checks explicitly update again the pointer
before looking at it but it seems to me that using an independent
variable would make the code more robust.
Why? LogwrtResult only serves as a local cache of shared values, so
there should be no danger of skipping something.
