Correct the wait message from "Waiting to acquire a exclusive lock on a buffer"
to "Waiting to acquire an exclusive lock on a buffer".
The word "exclusive" starts with a vowel sound, so the indefinite article
should be "an" instead of "a".

Nice catch.

The typo is in wait_event_names.txt, so it actually affects the docs. See the attached doc screenshot.
```
BufferCleanup Waiting to acquire **an exclusive** pin on a buffer. Buffer pin waits can be
BufferExclusive Waiting to acquire **a exclusive** lock on a buffer.
```

The row right above it uses “an exclusive”, while the next row uses “a exclusive”.

This seems to be an oversight from 6c5c393b7, so I think it should be back-patched to 19.

Best regards,*

This seems to be a typo. I asked Sol to check this kind of issue in
the tree, and it found a bunch of them. Do you bother to do a further
check? As John suggested, we better fix grammar issues wholesale[1]/messages/by-id/CANWCAZaZgQN54ccVheWd=yg2KW_c1vTPB7hd0CXkqBNLD2-pDA@mail.gmail.com.
