Simon doesn't/wouldn't want the stat() call on each file close.
If you put the PG_TRACE macro outside of the if test, yet prior to the
file close, you can pass the filename through like this
PG_TRACE1(temp__file__cleanup, vfdP->fileName);
That way DTrace can make its own call to find out filesize, if it would
like to... and we don't need to stat() before each temp file close.
That's much more flexible and useful, as well as better performance.
