Rework locking code in GetMultiXactIdMembers

alvherre · alvherre · commit a0b808baef39 · 2024-03-04T17:48:01.000+01:00
After commit 53c2a97, the code flow around the "retry" goto label in GetMultiXactIdMembers was confused about what was possible: we never return there with a held lock, so there's no point in testing for one. This realization lets us simplify the code a bit. While at it, make the scope of a couple of local variables in the same function a bit tighter. Per Coverity.
