I also tried to run perf top during pgbench and get some interesting
results.

Without 5364b357:
   5,69%  postgres                 [.] GetSnapshotData
   4,47%  postgres                 [.] LWLockAttemptLock
   3,81%  postgres                 [.] _bt_compare
   3,42%  postgres                 [.] hash_search_with_hash_value
   3,08%  postgres                 [.] LWLockRelease
   2,49%  postgres                 [.] PinBuffer.isra.3
   1,58%  postgres                 [.] AllocSetAlloc
   1,17%  [kernel]                 [k] __schedule
   1,15%  postgres                 [.] PostgresMain
   1,13%  libc-2.17.so             [.] vfprintf
   1,01%  libc-2.17.so             [.] __memcpy_ssse3_back

With 5364b357:
  18,54%  postgres                 [.] GetSnapshotData
   3,45%  postgres                 [.] LWLockRelease
   3,27%  postgres                 [.] LWLockAttemptLock
   3,21%  postgres                 [.] _bt_compare
   2,93%  postgres                 [.] hash_search_with_hash_value
   2,00%  postgres                 [.] PinBuffer.isra.3
   1,32%  postgres                 [.] AllocSetAlloc
   1,10%  libc-2.17.so             [.] vfprintf

Very surprising.  It appears that after 5364b357, GetSnapshotData consumes
more time.  But I can't see anything depending on clog buffers
in GetSnapshotData code...
