Guard against core dump from uninitialized subplan.

If the planner erroneously puts a non-parallel-safe SubPlan into
a parallelized portion of the query tree, nodeSubplan.c will fail
in the worker processes because it finds a null in es_subplanstates,
which it's unable to cope with.  It seems worth a test-and-elog to
make that an error case rather than a core dump case.

This probably should have been included in commit 16ebab688, which
was responsible for allowing nulls to appear in es_subplanstates
to begin with.  So, back-patch to v10 where that came in.
