When a relation is truncated, shared_buffers needs to be scanned so that any buffers for the relation forks are invalidated in it. Previously, shared_buffers was scanned for each relation forks, i.e., MAIN, FSM and VM, when VACUUM truncated off any empty pages at the end of relation or TRUNCATE truncated the relation in place. Since shared_buffers needed to be scanned multiple times, it could take a long time to finish those commands especially when shared_buffers was large. This commit changes the logic so that shared_buffers is scanned only one time for those three relation forks.
