I added it before adding the code into xlog_cil_committed().
Regardless, I think it's a good idea to have a specific wakeup to
for waiters catch the shutdown purely from a defensive POV - if we
screw up something else, we will still get a wakeup after the log is
marked shutdown and not hang...

Forgot to refresh the patch - the tested version has this fix.

Cheers,
