I don't think the vacuum is the problem here. The problem is process
9293, which for some reason is trying to get AccessExclusiveLock, and is
blocked behind autovac, and everything else is stacking up behind it.
You didn't happen to note what 9293 was doing did you? It's living
fairly dangerously in any case by trying to acquire exclusive lock
when it already holds a bunch of other lower-level locks; that's a
recipe for deadlock if I ever saw one.
