Fix memory leak in GIN index scans.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Fix memory leak in GIN index scans. The code had a query-lifespan memory leak when encountering GIN entries that have posting lists (rather than posting trees, ie, there are a relatively small number of heap tuples containing this index key value). With a suitable data distribution this could add up to a lot of leakage. Problem seems to have been introduced by commit 36a35c550, so back-patch to 9.4. Julien Rouhaud
