While looking at this, I noticed that caller (perform_base_backup) of
do_pg_start_backup, sets the backup phase as
PROGRESS_BASEBACKUP_PHASE_WAIT_CHECKPOINT whereas, in
do_pg_start_backup, we do collect the information about all
tablespaces after the checkpoint.  I am not sure if it is long enough
that we consider having a separate phase for it.   Without your patch,
it was covered under PROGRESS_BASEBACKUP_PHASE_ESTIMATE_BACKUP_SIZE
phase which doesn't appear to be a bad idea.

This change looks fine to me.
