Robustify tuplesort's free_sort_tuple function

41469253e went to the trouble of removing a theoretical bug from
free_sort_tuple by checking if the tuple was NULL before freeing it. Let's
make this a little more robust by also setting the tuple to NULL so that
should we be called again we won't end up doing a pfree on the already
pfree'd tuple. Per advice from Tom Lane.
