Fix race in dsm_unpin_segment() when handles are reused.
Thomas Munro <tmunro@postgresql.org>
Fix race in dsm_unpin_segment() when handles are reused. Teach dsm_unpin_segment() to skip segments that are in the process of being destroyed by another backend, when searching for a handle. Such a segment cannot possibly be the one we are looking for, even if its handle matches. Another slot might hold a recently created segment that has the same handle value by coincidence, and we need to keep searching for that one. The bug caused rare "cannot unpin a segment that is not pinned" errors on 10 and 11. Similar to commit 6c0fb941 for dsm_attach(). Back-patch to 10, where dsm_unpin_segment() landed.
