This problem has already been discussed, and I saw the same backtrace
as you do on my hosts:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/Z7PSeT7AbrjmiCCV@paquier.xyz

It is not the first time where we have a problematic patch causing
some animals to freeze, so I would recommend using a wait_timeout =>
43200 or similar in the configuration of your buildfarm animals so as
they would unfreeze themselves without the need for a manual
intervention. This setting has saved me quite a few maintenance
cycles.
