Fix corner-case coredump in _SPI_error_callback().

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 7eb16ab17d5c · 2017-12-11T16:34:28.000-05:00
I noticed that _SPI_execute_plan initially sets spierrcontext.arg = NULL,
and only fills it in some time later.  If an error were to happen in
between, _SPI_error_callback would try to dereference the null pointer.
This is unlikely --- there's not much between those points except
push-snapshot calls --- but it's clearly not impossible.  Tweak the
callback to do nothing if the pointer isn't set yet.

It's been like this for awhile, so back-patch to all supported branches.
