Fix ReinitializeParallelDSM to tolerate finding no error queues.

Commit d4663350646ca0c069a36d906155a0f7e3372eb7 changed things so
that shm_toc_lookup would fail with an error rather than silently
returning NULL in the hope that such failures would be reported
in a useful way rather than via a system crash.  However, it
overlooked the fact that the lookup of PARALLEL_KEY_ERROR_QUEUE
in ReinitializeParallelDSM is expected to fail when no DSM segment
was created in the first place; in that case, we end up with a
backend-private memory segment that still contains an entry for
PARALLEL_KEY_FIXED but no others.  Consequently a benign failure
to initialize parallelism can escalate into an elog(ERROR);
repair.
