I have tested the patch on my laptop (mem 16GB, SSD 512GB) using the
data introduced in up thread and saw that VACCUM after COPY FREEZE is
nearly 60 times faster than current master branch. Quite impressive.

By the way, I noticed following comment:
+ /*
+ * vmbuffer should be already pinned by RelationGetBufferForTuple,
+ * Though, it's fine if is not. all_frozen is just an optimization.
+ */

could be enhanced like below. What do you think?
