Subject: [PATCH] core: fix state flushing for catalyst mode (#26319)

The gcproc field tracks the amount of time spent processing blocks,
and is used to trigger a state flush to disk when a certain threshold is
reached. After the merge, single block insertion by CL is the most
common source of block processing time, but this time was not added
into gcproc.
