No, that's not what I said at all. Currently init_ps_display doesn't
actually force the display to update; it's left to the first
set_ps_display call to do that. If we made init_ps_display update the
status unconditionally, then set_ps_display could be a conditional
no-op, and in the helper process setup code
/* Identify myself via ps */
init_ps_display("autovacuum process", "", "");
set_ps_display("");
we could remove the now-unnecessary set_ps_display("") calls, but
the other set_ps_display() calls would stay exactly like they are.
